Why do you think that the major party has at least to this point ever nominated a woman or a member of a minority group as its presidential candidate?
The major parties have historically faced pressure to diversify their candidate pools due to changing societal attitudes and demographic shifts. Nominating a woman or a member of a minority group can help the party appeal to a broader electorate, particularly among younger voters who prioritize representation and inclusivity. Additionally, such nominations can signal progress and responsiveness to social justice movements, enhancing the party's image and relevance in a rapidly evolving political landscape.
