The Role of Gender in the 2020 Election

Only on the "CBS This Morning" podcast, Debbie Walsh, the director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University, joins CBS News political reporter Caitlin Huey-Burns to discuss gender and electability. The discussion of whether a woman can be elected president surfaced in the 2020 Democratic presidential campaign after comments allegedly made by Senator Bernie Sanders and former Vice President Joe Biden. After the defeat of Hillary Clinton in 2016, Walsh says 2018 provided to be a record year for female candidates — and she shares why the surge in elected women has fallen along party lines.
