Less than four hours after asking for donations to reach the debate stage threshold, democrat presidential candidate, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, quit the race:
Today, I am ending my campaign for president. I am so proud of this team and all we’ve accomplished. But I think it’s important to know how you can best serve.
~Senator Kirsten Gillibrand
Before lunch:
It's true: This election is about defeating Trump. For me, it's also about lifting up voices and issues that have been left out of our politics since long before Trump. That's why I'm running, and I'll take that fight to the debates. Help me get there: https://t.co/Ro1IHP6H9E

To our supporters: Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Now, let's go beat Donald Trump and win back the Senate. pic.twitter.com/xM5NGfgFGT
