Gillibrand To Be Sworn In On Tuesday


Newly named New York senator, Kirsten Gillibrand will be sworn into office by Vice President Joe Biden tomorrow. The oath of office will take place at 12:30 p.m. at the US Capitol.
Gillibrand was appointed on Friday and will fill Hillary Clinton’s seat who was named Secretary of State.


A new poll released by Quinnipiac University shows that 46 percent of people were supportive of Governor Paterson’s choice of Gillibrand while 24 percent were still undecided.


The poll also showed that people from upstate were the most supportive of the Governor’s decision. As for Caroline Kennedy not being chosen 49 percent are blaming Kennedy and her aides, not Paterson.


1,047 people were surveyed between January 23rd and 25th.
