Who is Amy Klobuchar?

When Klobuchar was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 2006, she was Minnesota's first female senator. She has since established herself as the “senator next door” in her memoirs.

In subsequent years, she has shown a willingness to reach across the aisle by participating in bipartisan bills to regulate artificial intelligence, strengthen detection and treatment of dementia, and the Save Our Stages Act.

Klobuchar previously ran for president and announced her candidacy on a snowy morning in Minneapolis in 2019 dropped out of the race at the beginning of March 2020 to voice their support for Joe Biden, who was elected to the White House in November 2020.
