In January 2019, she announced the formation of an exploratory committee to think about running for the Democratic nomination in the 2020 United States presidential election. She made the announcement on January 15, 2019, in an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The campaign accepted donations from individuals and refuses political action committee donations.
Her view on guns clearly changed after the 2012 school shooting. It is reported that the pro-gun organization changed from "we like her" to "we hate her". After the announcement, she fights against that pro-gun organization directly by a tweet. She says mass shootings is a real national emergency.
In a Twitter video post on March 17, 2019, Gillibrand announced that she was officially running for president.
After failing to qualify for the third debate in September, Gillibrand ended her campaign on August 28, 2019.
