Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., says her family is on board for a presidential run in 2020, and that she will be “making this decision on my own course regardless of what other candidates are doing.”
“I think a few months ago I had talked about the fact that we just came off an election in Minnesota where we – I won in every congressional district including some rural districts that Donald Trump had won handily, that I think it is important to have someone who has some heartland sensibility,” she told Mika Brzesinski during an appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe Tuesday.
“I also had said I wanted to talk to my family, so big news today, my family is on board including my in-laws, showing some momentum. But I will make this decision on my own course regardless of what other candidates are doing. I think what America wants is someone that is going to make their own decisions, that’s not going to be influenced by every tweet out from the White House or what happens every single day in the news. I think they need a president that’s there for them in the long haul.”
The field of potential Democratic presidential candidates is already crowded, with Minnesota Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard over the last two weeks announcing their intention to run. Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, former Vice President Joe Biden, California Sen. Kamala Harris and New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker also are considering joining the race.
