According to a report from Reference News Network on February 8, as four women announced their participation in the 2020 presidential election, whether the United States will usher in the first female president has become the focus of public opinion. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) website published a special article revealing the backgrounds of four female politicians. They have a common identity - members of the Senate .
According to information disclosed by the BBC, these four women are Federal Senator Kamala Harris , New York State Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Massachusetts Federal Senator Elizabeth... Warren, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren.
Of course, the four of them are also different.
Kamala Harris is an ethnic minority with dual ancestry from Jamaica and India. Her pedigree is good for winning Democratic support. If she is elected, she will become "the first president of Asian descent."
The second presidential candidate Kirsten Gillibrand, 53, is currently forming a campaign research committee to lay the foundation for the campaign.
The third candidate, Elizabeth Warren, is 70 years old, and she is also the oldest of the four women. This 70-year-old female politician belongs to the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. She is very concerned about labor rights and the gap between rich and poor, and is very likely to win the support of the broad blue-collar class in the United States.
The fourth candidate, Tulsi Gabbard, is 37 years old. She is from Hawaii and is also the youngest candidate. Although she belongs to the Democratic Party, she once opposed the Iran nuclear deal and is not popular within the party. If she is elected, the United States will have the youngest president in history.
Judging from the information of the four female presidents, the most competitive ones are Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren. The reason why these four women actively ran for president is mainly because after Trump came to power, many women invested in politics. Especially in 2018, the total number of female members of Congress increased to 127. This year is also known as the "Year of Women in Congress."
In American history, women serving as political leaders is nothing strange. You know, Obama Secretary of State Hillary Clinton participated in the 2016 presidential election. Although she lost the election, she still criticized a series of policies implemented by Trump.
Nancy Pelosi , the current Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives , was twice elected as the Speaker of the House of Representatives. She has repeatedly opposed Trump's construction of the wall and was very unhappy with Trump because she did not agree with the approval of the wall funding bill.
Of course, their active participation in the election will create a lot of pressure on Trump. Since Hillary lost the election in 2016, the Democratic Party has tried to make a comeback and oust Trump from the presidency. Three of the four women running this time are from the Democratic Party. It seems that the Democratic Party is determined to win. Trump wants to be re-elected in the 2020 presidential election. Is there a lot of resistance?
Some analysts believe that although American women actively participate in the US presidential election, the American people have higher demands for female presidents. For example, they are required to have the ability to control the overall situation, have a people-friendly image, behave more appropriately, etc.
