Kirsten Gillibrand Couldn't Be Crowned!

Kirsten Gillibrand exits the Democratic race for president.

The power of #MeToo didn't help a firebrand.

The race for the Democratic nomination is over for New York senator Kirsten Gillibrand. The senator announced her departure from the race yesterday in a video posted on social
media.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) didn't meet the requirements to participate in the third debate.

Today, I am ending my campaign for president.

I am so proud of this team and all we've accomplished. But I think it’s important to know how you can best serve.

To our supporters: Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Now, let's go beat Donald Trump and win back the Senate. pic.twitter.com/xM5NGfgFGT

Gillibrand who championed the issues of women and families on the trail, has been campaigning for the 2020 Democratic nomination since January, but struggled to make a dent in the race. She lacked both the polling and required number of donors to qualify for the third debate.

"I know this ins't the result we wanted, we wanted to win this race, but's important to know when it's not your time," she said in a video posted on her social media. "I believe I can best serve by helping to unite us to beat Donald Trump in 2020."

Gillibrand is the first woman to drop out. She is one of a handful of women who wanted to secure the Democratic nomination for president.

She ends her presidential bid with at least $800,000 on hand.

She plans to launch as SuperPac called Off The Sidelines. The PAC group is raising millions to recruit women to run for office in states.

Democrats were kind of shaky about her. When Al Franken was hit with a scandal on behalf of Roger Stone, Sean "Softball" Hannity and Leeann Tweeden, Gillibrand led the call for Franken to resign.

Franken was a Demcoratic senator from Minnesota who was previously an actor, comedian, talk show host, activist and author. When Stone teased about "Franken's time in the barrel" they released an image of Franken teasing a shot of groping Tweeden. Although Tweeden knew Franken wasn't like this, she went to make an accusation claiming that a skit they've performed was inappropriate.

Franken was soon hit with four other accusations. Many of them were unfounded and unfolded.

Franken under pressure from Democrats resigned. When the facts came out that Franken didn't do anything wrong, Gillibrand continued to stand firm by saying it was "the right thing" to do.

Gillibrand hasn't endorsed any candidate yet but she said that she is willing to help the eventual nominee win the 2020 election.
