“Amy’s Making a Big Announcement,” posted Sen. Klobuchar, D-Minn., from her Twitter account just hours after the State of the Union. Absent from the presidential tease were mixtapes, celebrity headlines, and Instagram livestreams. Instead, Klobuchar just posted one single boomer image macro, and unless she’s taking to the stage over the weekend to announce that she’s definitively not throwing her hat into the already-crowded ring, it’s now clear: She’s running.
Klobuchar might be the first interesting candidate to enter the race in this entire season. Unlike Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., who have spent the better part of the past two years auditioning for the presidency at every televised turn, or Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, whose bid was as unpromising as it had been unexpected, Klobuchar may just turn out to be the dark horse of this race.
