WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, who ran a presidential campaign centered on advocacy for women, ended her bid for the 2020 Democratic nomination on Wednesday after failing to gain traction in opinion polls or qualify for next month’s debate.
Gillibrand, a senator from New York since 2009, is the latest in a spate of Democrats to end their campaigns in the past month after failing to make headway. Her departure leaves 20 Democrats vying to challenge Republican President Donald Trump in the November 2020 election. To earn a spot in the September debate, candidates had to draw at least 2% support in four national or early voting state polls, and have 130,000 unique donors, including 400 in 20 states. Gillibrand’s failure to qualify for the debate likely would have had a significant impact on her already dire financial position.
U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, another presidential aspirant, praised Gillibrand on Twitter, calling her “a forceful voice against Donald Trump and all he represents.”
