And I really think it will. It's no longer an anomaly to see women seeking out a political office, even one at the tippy top. The barrier of what is considered 'normal' or a rare occurrence has been broken by the pioneers who have come before. It's been a very long haul but it's thrilling to see these women competing for the highest office there is.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
