After Vice President Kamala Harris's defeat, Democrats are debating the electability of female candidates. Some argue that sexism played a role in her loss, while others point to campaign missteps and traditional political factors. The conversation has frustrated and foiled two generations of female candidates, with advocates arguing that if more women ran for president, their presence would become normalized and one would eventually win. However, despite two female nominees (Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris) capturing their party's nomination, the party is divided on how much gender contributed to their losses.
