Democrat Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (NY) is worried that her party’s got a white guy problem when it comes to 2020. With impeachment-minded Democrats preparing to take back control of the House and all the ominous reports about the president being increasingly isolated amid the tightening Mueller investigation, the Democrats are in prime position to finally take down Trump in 2020. All they need is the right candidate to face off against Trump — and Gillibrand suggests a white guy might not be the right guy.
During an interview with CNN’s Van Jones Friday night, Gillibrand admitted that she is troubled that Democrats are choosing white guys for their top 2020 candidates. A new CNN poll found that three white guys (two ancient, one less so, all pretty well off) are currently leading the crowded field of Democratic presidential hopefuls: twice-failed presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden, thwarted 2016 presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (VT), and Senate seat loser Rep. Beto O’Rourke (TX).
