NEW YORK — New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand officially announced her 2020 presidential campaign Sunday morning.
Her formal announcement comes two months after she announced an exploratory committee, followed by travel around the country to meet with voters. The announcement came in a two and a half minute video on Twitter, and was a stark rebuke of President Trump, saying his governing does not live up to the “land of the brave” suggested in the national anthem.
“Will brave win?” she asks, before saying, “Well, it hasn’t always, and it isn’t right now. Brave doesn’t pit people against each other. Brave doesn’t put money over lives. Brave doesn’t spread hate. Cloud truth. Build a wall. That’s what fear does.”
Gillibrand will make her first speech as a candidate March 24, in front of Trump International Hotel (this is not the building Trump lives in when he is in New York).
Gillibrand is the latest in a long list of Democrats to officially throw their hat in the 2020 ring. First appointed to the Senate when Hillary Clinton vacated the seat in 2009, Gillibrand was reelected in 2012 and 2018.
