Kirsten Gillibrand: ‘I’m the Better Candidate to Take on President Trump’ than Joe Biden

EXCERPT:

GILLIBRAND: “I just know why I’m running. And I think I’m the better candidate to take on President Trump because my history is I take on the fights that other people don’t. I’ve stood up to the Pentagon twice. First over the repeal of 'Don’t ask/don’t tell' and then over sexual violence in the military. I stood up to my party when they’re wrong, making sure we ban insider trading by members of Congress, as well as unbelievable transparency on posting my earmarks, my schedule, my financial disclosure and my taxes. First presidential candidate this cycle to post all my taxes. And even as a member of Congress from New York, I take on the banks. You have to be able to stand up to fight for what’s right, even when it’s hard, especially when it’s hard. That’s why I’m the best candidate to take on President Trump and to govern this country moving forward."
