As CaitMosc says, 'People aren't racing to the polls to vote for the moderate, old white male.'
[Harris] had announced or was announcing. I would say she was hopeful that these women would not experience such heightened levels of misogyny as she faced in 2016. But I don’t know that she was optimistic. There’s research to this. We know that women running for executive office face a totally different level of sexism than women running for legislative office. When women run to be in charge of something, they get different treatment than when they run to be a part of something.
I think, to a certain degree, women watched Hillary Clinton run playing it straight. At the time, that might have seemed like the correct strategy. And she lost. In a way, that rewrites the playbook. I think women kind of said, “I might as well be myself.” Catalina was extremely open about her experience [as a Dreamer]. Anna Eskamani was out there talking about losing her mother to cancer when she was 13, and how taking care of her dying mother impacted her whole life.
I also think we’ve changed. Having someone like Trump in office, who clearly does not know what he is doing, it feels like amateur hour. Elizabeth Warren is this policy wonk. She has a plan for everything. It’s like his polar opposite. One of the unfair criticisms of Hillary during the presidential debates in 2016 was that she was too prepared, which is absurd. There’s just been this turn where we can more fully appreciate politicians who are qualified and prepared.
When Sarah Palin was picked by the McCain campaign, she was the mother of young kids. We don’t see mothers of young kids running for office very much, especially at very high levels. She ran prominently as a mother of five who married her high school sweetheart, and there was the whole hockey mom shtick, right? She was purposely running as a mother.
