Jennifer Palmieri, Hillary Clinton's top campaign adviser, said today that she believes women continue to face double standards and gender bias when running for public office, but that things have gotten better since the candidate's 2016 run
Hillary Clinton's top campaign adviser said on Wednesday that she believes women continue to face double standards and gender bias when running for public office, but that things have gotten better since the candidate's 2016 run.
That doesn't mean sexism in the political sphere is gone, however, and Palmieri points out that Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris still faces many of the same gender biases as past women candidates. But Palmieri said Harris' history in public life and past attention on her identity has prepared her to overcome the double standards she faces. Harris is the first Black and Asian American woman to be nominated on a major party ticket.
"So she has the benefit of operating in a system that is a little more aware." Palmieri continued. "It's not that she isn't subjected to the same kind of biases. Some portions just understand it now. But also, she's just very skilled at defining herself and not letting herself get pigeonholed because she's had to do it her whole life."
