Though one female candidate remains in the 2020 presidential race, the contest has really come down to three 70-something males. The Democrats’ dream of electing the first female President of the United States has died a painful death this week as both Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) faced the reality that they’d failed to gain any national traction. Though Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) remains in the race, she’s tracking below 2% in the national Democratic polls and has acquired only one delegate. What was once the “most diverse” field of Democratic presidential candidates is now down to two elderly straight white men.
After announcing that she was officially ending her campaign on Thursday, Warren was asked about the role of gender in the election, and made clear that she believes sexism certainly played a role in her demise.
