Kamala Harris: Election raises 'legitimate questions' about challenges women face
The California senator responded to colleague Elizabeth Warren’s decision to drop out of the 2020 Democratic primary.
From a March 5 press availability:
SEN. KAMALA HARRIS (D-CA): This election cycle, in particular, has also presented very legitimate questions about the challenges of women running for president of the United States.
…
HARRIS: Look at what’s happened, there are no women currently in this race. And, we can have a longer discussion about it, but the reality is that there’s still a lot of work to be done to make it very clear that women are exceptionally qualified and capable of being the commander-in-chief of the United States of America.
