Analysis: How gender bias is shaping the 2020 Democratic primary
Sen. Elizabeth Warren speaks at an organizing event Friday in Ames, Iowa. By Amber Phillips Amber Phillips Reporter for The Fix covering Congress, statehouses Email Bio Follow May 6 at 6:00 AM Hillary Clinton said misogyny played a role in her 2016 loss. Just a few years later, we have evidence that gender bias is again influencing how voters perceive women running for president.
An April national Quinnipiac University poll of the 2020 Democratic primary gets at this potential gender bias brewing in the 2020 Democratic primary. Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Kamala D. Harris are in the mix for the nomination when you ask voters who they’d vote for if the primary were today. An April Suffolk University poll of New Hampshire Democrats asked those who said they wouldn’t vote for Warren why. A plurality, 18 percent, said it’s because she can’t beat Trump.
“I don’t think they’re strong enough to carry it for themselves,” Norm Duvé told The Post’s David Weigel in Iowa about women running for president. Though impressed with Warren, “I’d like it if Biden ran with one of the good women,” Duvé said.
