The Democratic field in 2016 has more than enough room for two women competing to be the nation’s first female president, according to liberal activists.
They pour scorn on the notion that Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), or any other woman, ought to step aside if former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton launches a second quest for the White House.
"The idea that you can't run because there's somebody else who looks like you running? Oh my God, what would all the white men do?" quipped Terry O'Neill, president of the National Organization for Women (NOW).
"I think the argument that two women shouldn't compete in a primary is insulting to voters — both women and men," said Robert Borosage, the director and co-founder of the progressive Campaign For America's Future. "This isn't a gender contest. This is a race to determine the best leader for our country. Anyone making that argument in public would be hooted off the stage."
A former senior Democratic staffer who supports Clinton also decried the notion. "I'm sick of the political boys’ club," said the former staffer, who is female. "We always have several men running at the same time. The more women who run for public office, the better. I want nothing more than to have Hillary as the first female president ... [but] people don't become president because they deserve it — who becomes president is up to the voters."
Representatives for Clinton and Warren did not respond to requests for comment.
