Even though Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton is a former first lady and a former U.S. senator, she cast herself as a political outsider on Monday because she’s a woman.
“Who can be more of an outsider than a woman president?” she said on NBC’s “Today Show.”
Anchor Savannah Guthrie seemed to agree by saying to Clinton that “one of your merits is that you’re a woman,” and asked her how a female leader would run the White House differently.
“We have a very different life experience, I think it’s fair to say,” she said to applause.
“I think that, you know, a lot of my agenda about how do we support families, and how do we support working women, how do we get paid family leave, how do we do caregiving?” she added. “I was just talking to one of the people here, we’re going to have a huge challenge on helping to take care of people with Alzheimer’s, people who are getting older with Autism and a lot of other conditions.”
“We live that in a much more real, you know, day to day way, and I will bring all of those, you know, feelings and experiences with me to the White House,” she said.
