Lost Twice..

 

Some Democrats are mulling whether the party’s best chance at winning back the White House is to pick a “straight, white Christian man” in 2028 for the top of the ticket.

Having lost twice to Donald Trump with female candidates for president, Democratic strategists have echoed concerns voiced last year by former first lady Michelle Obama: America “is not ready for a woman.”

Behind closed doors, several Democratic strategists have bluntly said some form of, “It has to be a white guy,” according to Axios.

There is a fear — and I actually don't think this is just a grass-tops fear, I think you'd hear it from voters, too — that a woman has now lost twice,” an unnamed Democratic strategist told the outlet. “So not discounting the hundreds of other times men have lost … but is it the right thing to nominate a woman?”

Former first lady Hillary Clinton lost to Trump in the 2016 presidential election, though she won the popular vote, and former Vice President Kamala Harris was defeated by the Republican in 2024.
