The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is proving to be a must-stop for candidates running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020. Today it was New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand throwing her hat into the ring, making her announcement on the show.

She followed the appearance up with an official announcement on Twitter and the launch of her 2020 website.
Tonight I announced that I’m preparing to run for president, because I believe we’re all called to make a difference. I believe in right vs. wrong – that wrong wins when we do nothing. Now is our time to raise our voices and get off the sidelines. Join me: https://t.co/I1vp93u0wh
