CNN — New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand delivered a speech Sunday in front of Trump International Hotel, kicking off her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination after formally joining the race earlier this month.

"The people of this country deserve a president worthy of your bravery," Gillibrand said. "A president who not only sets an example, but follows yours. Your bravery inspires me every day, and that is why I'm running for president of the United States."

Gillibrand's campaign event in New York followed her announcement a week ago officially declaring her candidacy and her announcement in January that she was forming an exploratory committee.
