Here in Orange County, CA, the GOP was able to flip a blue House seat back to red in 2020 by running the Asian wife of the white male former Chair of the State Republican Party. Hopefully it will flip back to blue in 2022 once voters realize what a right wing nutjob puppet she is. One of her first votes this month in the House was to vote No on impeachment.

What's revolutionary about the crop of female world leaders shown in that video is that for the most part they are progressive, and definitely their own women.
