New York Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has announced her plans for a 2020 presidential run during an appearance on late-night television, BBC reports.
She told CBS host Stephen Colbert she has launched an exploratory committee for her bid on Tuesday.
She joins a growing group of Democrats hoping to win the party's nomination.
"I'm filing an exploratory committee for president of the United States tonight!" she said in a clip of her taped interview released ahead of the programme on Tuesday night.
Asked why she is running,
Mrs Gillibrand replied: "As a young mom I'm going to fight for other people's kids as hard as I fight for my own, which is why I believe health care is a right and not a privilege."
