Female Democrats dish on running for president: No one ever asks if a man can win

Published February 22, 2019 8:20pm ET



A record number of women are running for president in 2020, but Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said she still receives questions about whether a female candidate can win.

“The question that I get asked that I’ve never heard a man asked is ‘Can a woman win?’ But I’ve never heard anyone ask a guy, ‘Can a man win?’” Warren said in a video released Thursday promoting a feature in Marie Claire. The magazine interviewed the five female members of Congress who have announced they’re vying for the Democratic nomination in a piece headlined “One of These Women Could Be Our Next President: Call it the final stage of the resistance.”
