Episode notes
AOC said something that sparked a BIG conversation: Can a Latina woman actually win the presidency of the United States?
In this episode, DVJ and Michelle break down the comments and the bigger question behind them. The conversation looks at the history of presidential elections, the lack of women presidents, Barack Obama’s place in American political history, and the experiences of candidates like Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.
They also get into the role race may play in presidential elections, who makes up the voting population, and why having qualified women run for the highest office in the country hasn't yet resulted in a woman becoming president.
But the conversation doesn't stop there.
The episode also covers immigration and ICE, government spending and detention, media coverage, politics, race, and how Americans interpret what they're seeing and hearing from politicians and the news.
As always, DVJ and Michelle aren't reading from a script or trying to make the conversation comfortable. They're asking the questions, challenging each other's perspectives, and saying what they really think.
Could America elect a Latina woman president? And what does history tell us about that possibility?
