Happy Saturday! Here’s our weekly catch-up on the 2020 presidential campaign and the Democratic field.

Gillibrand is out, and we’re down to 20

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, who was seen by some as a major presidential prospect before the race began but never quite got a foothold in the polls, ended her campaign on Wednesday.

Ms. Gillibrand — who anchored her candidacy in issues of women’s equality, with a strong emphasis on abortion rights — told our colleague Alex Burns that she didn’t see a way to win once it became clear she would fail to qualify for next month’s Democratic debate.

“I think being able to have a voice on a debate stage, when other candidates have that, is really important,” she said, “and without it, I just didn’t see our path.”
