When will America have it's first female president

[Da2017]

It won't be for long time. Almost happened in 2016. Is the US ready for a female president?

[TDAS04]

2021 is as good a guess as any, but the chances of having a female president then are still less than 50/50.  (Even though there may be about a 50/50 chance that the Democratic nominee is a woman, and I think there's a greater than 50/50 chance that the Democratic nominee will win, it's still less than 50/50 overall the POTUS will be female come January 20 that year).

Never

[Dr. MB]

Either 2020 or 2028. Maybe 2032 at the latest.

[hokey398]

With the right running mate could see it happen in 2024, dont see anyone winning as of right now for 2020

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

Never

And why's that?

[Peanut]

At some point next decade: 2020, 2024 or 2028

[TML]

You never know. Back in the mid-2000s, who would have thought that we would have our first black president by the end of the decade?

It is entirely plausible that there is some not-so-well-known female who could shape up to become president within another generation from now.

When will America have its first female president?

Correct answer: 2021

At some point next decade: 2020, 2024 or 2028

Trump is too unpopular to be re-elected, and the Democrats, I predict, will nominate a woman in 2020, so Jan. 20, 2021 will see the first female President.

[progressive85]

Being the first doesn't mean she's going to be popular.  It's probable that half the country will loathe her and she may just last one term.

If there's any woman who's the most likely, its Nikki Haley.  She was the Governor of a very rough-and-tumble state in the Deep South, she won despite not being white, and she was re-elected.  That really is all the qualification she needs, but now she's in an international role and she can very easily run as someone who has foreign policy experience.

I have a hunch that she will be a Governor, not a Senator.

What does that mean?

[progressive85]

i just think that she'll need to have executive office experience, a Governor is better prepared for the Presidency than a Senator in my opinion

Haley has already been a governor.

Haley almost lost to a Democrat in a Republican wave year. I can't see how she could be President.

[LabourJersey]

Almost certainly within the next 12 years

[History505]

Sooner than you think.

[Coolface Sock #42069]

I don't know, but I hope it's a Republican so we can deny Democrats a major identity-politics accomplishment.

I specifically hope it is Nikki Haley. But I know that's far-fetched at this point.

[JGibson]

2020, with either Kamala Harris, Kirsten Gillibrand, or Elizabeth Warren winning.

[Rookie Yinzer]

Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, or Amy Klobuchar  in 2020

Long shot: Stacey Abrams in 2028

ETA: Another long shot: Nikki Haley 2024

[morgankingsley]

probably 2036
