New York Rep. Maloney endorses Gillibrand for president

Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D) on Sunday endorsed her colleague from New York, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), for president.

“I am proud to endorse my friend @SenGillibrand to be our next President and the nation’s first woman President,” Maloney wrote on Twitter.

“I saw her tenacity when we fought together to pass the 9/11 Health bill and know she has what it takes to defeat Trump.” 

Gillibrand officially announced her 2020 candidacy on Sunday after having formed an exploratory committee in January.

Maloney’s endorsement is Gillibrand’s first so far from a sitting member of Congress, according to Politico. 

Two representatives from New York, Kathleen Rice (D) and Sean Maloney (D), have endorsed former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) in the 2020 race.
