> 1) It's very hard for a woman to be elected president.

The UK voted for Margaret Thatcher three times (1979, 1983, 1987). I'm sceptical about claims that the 2020s US is somehow more sexist than 1980s Britain.

Maybe, it is easier for centre-right female leaders to win than centre-left ones? Maybe the first female President of the US will be a Republican?
