In the United States of America, sexism has long infiltrated every aspect of human life, especially our government and political processes. In 2016 and 2024, the USA had a female democratic nominee -- Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, respectively -- but both failed to win their elections. This article is from the perspective of Bill Clinton and states that the first female president of the USA is more likely to be conservative because of an appeal to more males.

Due to numerous articles including: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/11/bias-against-female-president/680589/ and previous in-person sources, I doubt the republican party, who has proved time and time again that they are not progressive in supporting women in leadership positions, and have so much more hatred towards female democratic nominees as opposed to male, will ever support a woman as their presidential nominee. In a world where most republicans have trouble with the idea of a woman as the head of a household, how would they approve of a woman as head of the country? Likely misinformation.

The claim that the first female president of the United States is more likely to come from the Republican Party is not backed by any substantial polling data or other evidence, and isn't much more than speculation. This claim, reported by NBC 15 News, comes from former president Bill Clinton, who argues that a conservative women would be more likely to be elected than a woman from the Democratic Party, since that woman would receive backing from Republicans, as well as a significant number of Democratic voters. While this prediction isn't without reasoning, it cannot be verified as true or false.
Can't be true or false (Opinion, poem, etc.)
