There are moments from the past 8 months which we would all be worse off forgetting -- so let's remember them.
With so many Democratic primary candidates, it's been hard to stand out, but Kirsten Gillibrand never failed to do just that, and has used her platform to unabashedly fight for women. But yesterday, the New York Senator and women’s rights activist announced that she had ended her campaign for presidency in 2020.
ADVERTISEMENT Al Franken faced eight credible allegations of sexual harassment. 34 other Senators called for his resignation, but now I seem to stand alone. — Kirsten Gillibrand August 1, 2019 What was special about Gillibrand's campaign is that she didn’t just isolate women’s issues outside the conversation, but found a way to integrate them, forcing the conversation to make room for the consideration of gender inequality. Central to her campaign were her policies around enabling women to have easier access to the workforce and healthcare.
— Kamala Harris August 28, 2019 The comfort in Gillibrand leaving is that she promises to continue to fight for the Democratic Party and for electing women, and it’s hard not to believe her. Gillibrand promises not only to support whoever becomes the nominee, but to continue to fight for electing women"up and down the ballot." Moreover, she leaves the race with five more women, three of them qualifying for the debate, showing a real chance of the U.S. gaining a female president.
