Klobuchar announcing her campaign

The Amy Klobuchar 2020 presidential campaign was announced on February 10, 2019. Before her announcement, Amy Klobuchar, who represents Minnesota in the United States Senate, had already been widely seen to be in the process of preparing to run for President of the United States.

Klobuchar was described by The New York Times in 2008 and The New Yorker in 2016 as one of the women most likely to become the first female President of the United States.[1][2]

On February 5, 2019, Klobuchar announced she would make a "major announcement" on February 10 about a presidential bid.[3] Klobuchar held a campaign announcement rally in at Boom Island Park in Minneapolis on February 10.[4]

Klobuchar's allegedly harsh treatment of her Senate staff received some coverage before her announcement.[5][6]

Klobuchar ended her campaign on March 2, 2020 a day before Super Tuesday due to low polling numbers and loosing the first four contests.[7]
