The Massachusetts senator, whose presidential campaign almost self-destructed before it began over her clumsy use of DNA testing in a pointless argument about whether she is descended from Native Americans, has picked herself up and fought her way into third place, or a third-place tie, or a close fourth, among Democrats in recent polls. This was as unexpected as the simultaneous rise into serious contention of Pete Buttigieg, an unknown Midwestern mayor in a same-sex marriage.
In her estimation, the national thermometer is pointing to Joe Biden, who is leading in all the Democratic polls. A lot of his support seems to come from Democrats like Carter, who base it on his hypothesized appeal to other people, which seems like a somewhat insubstantial foundation on which to build a successful campaign. To be clear, a Quinnipiac poll released June 11 shows Biden way out in front of Trump, 53-40.
That’s a conclusion based in part on anecdotes like this one — which happens to come from Lithwick’s own article — about Election Day photographs of “[w]omen posed outside of public schools, and churches, and rec centers, wearing pantsuits and beaming into the camera with elated looks that said, I just voted for the first woman to be president of the United States!”There’s a characteristic Democratic fatalism in the conviction that the country won’t vote for a female president, barely a decade...
