Gillibrand was required to run in a special election in 2010, which she won with 63% of the vote. After two months and many potential names considered, Governor David Paterson appointed Gillibrand to fill the seat. In December 2008, President-elect Barack Obama nominated Hillary Rodham Clinton as Secretary of State, leaving an empty seat in the New York senate delegation. Previously she served in the United States House of Representatives, representing New York's 20th congressional district, from 2007 to 2009. Kirsten Elizabeth Rutnik Gillibrand (/ˈkɪərstən ˈdʒɪlɨbrænd/ KEER-stən JIL-ə-brand born December 9, 1966) is an American politician and the junior United States Senator from New York, in office since 2009. They don't want to be in the national spotlight until it's on their terms.
It was only when FU was passed up for Secretary of State that he considered the possibility of seizing power through other means.Īlso, just think of some of the other things FU has said, like, "Democracy is so overrated" or, "One heartbeat away." These, to me, sound like the statements of a man who sees his path to power as one of succession rather than election.Įdit: Also remember what Claire said about them always flying under the radar. He said then that, as much as he hated to admit it, the President had tapped into something that he himself could never hope to tap- the will of the public. And also about how powerful people can hold, use, and gain control without regard to public will. This whole show, to me, seems to be about a man's political maneuverings to advance his position through subterfuge and succession. See, I'm more inclined to believe that FU doesn't have any illusions of victory in a general election. To keep content fresh, reposts will be removed at the moderator's discretion.
