Kirstin Gillibrand

Cillizza wrote in his book, which of course you read, that the New York Senator might be the person best positioned to pick up the mantle left by Clinton. (He was talking about 2016 not 2020 but never you mind!) Gillibrand was appointed to Clinton's Senate seat in 2009 and has subsequently won re-election easily, proving in the process that she is one of the best fundraisers in the party. Gillibrand has also moved hard to the left since her days as a centrist Upstate New York member of the U.S. House.
