In a recent podcast, Rep. Jasmine Crockett discussed the Democratic Party's hesitance to nominate female candidates for the upcoming presidential race, pointing out historical losses. She suggested that party donors are leaning towards a particular 'safest white boy' for 2028, indicating discomfort with women's electability. Donors have expressed strong support for this unnamed candidate, which Crockett emphasized is neither Black nor female. This reflects broader challenges within the party regarding representation and electability as various names for potential candidates circulate in political discussions.
"It is this fear that the people within the party, within the primary system, will have about voting for a woman because every time we voted for a woman, we've lost, so far."
"No, for real. And to be clear, when we talk about them, I can tell you that there is one specific candidate; I had a donor on the phone with me telling me that all the donors are lining up behind that candidate."
