Former President Bill Clinton on Sunday suggested the U.S. is more likely to elect its first female president if that individual is a Republican.
The comment comes on the heels of Vice President Kamala Harris’s loss to President-elect Donald Trump in the presidential election. Bill Clinton's wife, Hillary Clinton, also ran for the Oval Office on the Democratic ticket in 2016 and lost to Trump.
I think in some ways we’ve moved to the right as a reaction to all the turmoil,” he said. “And I think if Hillary had been nominated in 2008, she would've walked in, just like Obama did." Hillary Clinton in August called on Harris to break the “highest, tallest” glass ceiling in the country, a reference to the all-male history of the U.S. presidency.
