Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris said on Tuesday she believes the"pundits" have it wrong about the electability of women in the race.
"Every office that I've run for, in particular, running for district attorney and then running for attorney general, no one like me had ever done the job based on gender, based on race," Harris, a Democratic senator from California, told MSNBC's"Andrea Mitchell Reports.""And the pundits, for the most part, each time I ran said it was impossible, it can't happen, people aren't ready for it. And I won.
She added:"I will say that I think voters are smarter than perhaps pundits sometimes give them credit for. I think voters are able to distinguish who can best to do the job at this moment, and they are able to overlook who has traditionally done the job in favor of who should do the job."The 2020 race on the Democratic side has one of the most diverse field of candidates, with six women competing to become the party's nominee.
Listen Hillary didn't make it what makes you think you will
Nope give up and support the Democratic ticket yo get trump out, then a woman
With how HRC couldn’t accept her defeat, ppl are afraid another woman would act like her. When guys lose, they concede in FRONT of cameras and move on, she’s done neither.
Please. Don't blame your poor poll numbers on women. 'Women' did not force you to run on lies and identity politics.
All the Democrat men running want her as their VP ... still wanting women to take a back seat
Wrong Harris. The pundits have it half right. The public will elect a women to be president just not any of you.
The Democrats want to make the presidential race based on color & gender. The Republicans want to make the race about getting things done. Trump has done more good for this country than the past number of presidents who sold us out & put other countries interest ahead of our own.
Yes SenKamalaHarris It is the woman they rejected in 2016. Pundits were wrong when they predicted Mrs Clinton would win in a landslide. How will you fare any better when she had been preparing for 3 decades. You want to delete tax cuts when the economy is booming? Not smart.
No one wants Willie Brown's leftovers
Yes if they know what the fuck their doing!
Not the most unbiased opinion on the subject though
I would vote for a woman. I would never vote for Kamala.
The pundits are trying to set the stage. However, the women in contention are setting the pace, and it’s a good one. Get on board!
I have always wondered if there were other people who recognized that pundits on TV sometimes just don't know what they are talking about.
700 former AGs have given opinions that Trump is guilty of Obstruction! And you need more time to investigate before you’d begin impeachment? You’ve lost me!!
Well prove them wrong then. Just stop whining.
Let's talk about your electability. You have none
Men have had the Helm for Centuries. Long past time to give Women a Shot
May the best man win!
Who gives two 💩💩 what her OR the pundits say? Think for your own damn self!
Do NOT underestimate A WOMAN. Not now, not ever. It shouldn't have been done in 2016, and should NOT be done now.
The GOP will ensure that there is never another Presidential election
Nah... they don’t.
All opinion and conjecture from both sides.
The pundits have not really said that. As a matter of fact, the most electable candidates in 2008, 2012, and 2016 were not white men.
Just need candidates smarter than Harris.
Well the pundits had it wrong in 2016 didn’t they .
