The New York senator’s presidential campaign has suffered under the onslaught of candidates, including some female colleagues.
By David Weigel David Weigel National reporter covering politics Email Bio Follow March 17 at 7:00 AM Seeking to reboot her presidential campaign, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand on Sunday cast herself in a new video as “a leader who makes big, bold, brave choices” and announced she would hold a rally outside one of President Trump’s hotels later this month.
Her speech outside the Trump International Hotel and Tower in New York City will be held on March 24. The New York senator has also faced a series of unwelcome headlines, from a donor’s involvement in a high-profile college admissions scam, to the news that a female staffer in her Senate office resigned after unwelcome sexual advances from a male aide. Gillibrand told reporters that her office had handled the situation in a model way.
The story did not alter Gillibrand’s focus on gender equity and stopping sexual harassment. In her Sunday video, she said she “took on the Pentagon to end to sexual assault in the military,” recounting one of the causes that brought her national attention.
