PNN – By examining various aspects of Kamala Harris’s gender, racial superiority and approach to Donald Trump, “Hill” magazine emphasized that the current American society still resists sending a woman as president to the White House.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network from this American media, after the decision of US President Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential nomination by the Democrats, Kamala Harris, the vice president of this country, was welcomed by this party and followed with great excitement. Meanwhile, Republican candidate Donald Trump is ahead of Harris in national polls and in most swing states – although by a much smaller margin than Biden.
Comparing the conditions of Harris and Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate in the 2016 presidential election, this report wrote: Harris has a chance to succeed where Clinton failed and become the first female president of the United States.

However, Democratic strategist and Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign manager Patty Solis-Doyle, when asked if Harris would be challenged by some of the prejudices of the American electorate because she is a woman, said: “Definitely, yes.” He added: While we have come a long way (in the political and social equality of women and men), there is still a lot to be done. It is now 2024 and this country (United States) has not yet elected a female president. I find this amazing.
However, there are those who believe that Harris, or indeed any other female candidate, has certain advantages against Trump. Some of these advantages are related to demographic issues, such as the ability to attract female voters. Some are issue-based, such as the idea that Harris could take a stronger approach to democratic debates like reproductive rights. Some of them work to confront Trump personally, such as the sense that a black former prosecutor is well-suited to challenge a Republican candidate who was found guilty of sexually assaulting author Jane Carroll in a civil suit last year.
However, despite all these positive attributes, there is concern that some voters will still refuse to vote for a female candidate for president, Hill added. Women (in America) have reached many of the most influential positions in politics. But the top job (presidency) has always been far from their reach.
Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky said that while Harris presents a tremendous opportunity as a woman presidential candidate, at the same time, she is not a sure choice. Because we are still a very anti-woman country and unlike Britain, India or Pakistan, a woman has never led the United States.
