She's up for re-election this year! Gillibrand's problem is that she came up as Hillary Clinton's protegee, which gave her some big coattails, but when she decided to start going after high-profile Democrats for sexual harassment (Franken, Cuomo, Bill Clinton) she became a bit of a persona non grata
I’m a NYer. I don’t think Gillibrand went after Bill Clinton (she wasn’t a senator until 2009), & the entire state went after Cuomo. (Is he had little to do w/ his resignation.)
But though I will vote for her for senator. I’ll never completely support her unless she apologizes to Al Franken.
Which... isn't great! But right now she's just a Senator who'll always win re-election but will never be a party leader, which is... more than I've done with my life.
