Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday announced she was setting up an exploratory committee for the 2020 presidential race, becoming the latest Democrat to wade into what is expected to be a crowded primary to take on President Trump.
Gillibrand’s announcement came during an appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,†days ahead of a scheduled weekend visit to Iowa, the crucial first-in-the-nation caucus state.
Gillibrand, 52, said that she was forming an exploratory committee – a key step in a presidential campaign that allows her to begin raising crucial campaign cash and hiring staff before she formally enters the race.
