Pramila Jayapal,a prominent figure \u200bin the House Progressive Caucus,expressed her belief that \u2064kamala Harris&#8217;s unsuccessful 2024 presidential campaign has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/moderna-cuts-covid-19-vaccine-shipments-to-canada\/\" title=\"Moderna cuts COVID-19 vaccine shipments to Canada\">set back<\/a> the chances\u200c of electing a woman to the presidency. Jayapal highlighted not only \u2062Harris&#8217;s defeat but also the discriminatory treatment \u2063she faced \u2062as\u200c a Black and South Asian American woman. During a discussion at Harvard University, Jayapal\u200c reflected\u200c on the pain and frustration \u2062many women, notably women of color, felt watching Harris&#8217;s campaign. She <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">criticized societal\u200b expectations<\/a> and \u2062biases that continue to hinder qualified female candidates from \u200bsucceeding, even after having \u200da Black president, Barack Obama. Jayapal&#8217;s comments underscore the challenges faced by women in politics and the emotional toll of navigating these barriers as minority candidates.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Kamala Harris set back chance for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/review-the-presidents-daughter-large-print-by-bill-clinton-and-james-patterson\/\" title=\"REVIEW: \u2018The President\u2019s Daughter\u2019 (Large Print) by Bill Clinton and James Patterson\">woman president<\/a>: Top Democrat<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2035218\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A top House progressive said that former Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Kamala Harris<\/a>&rsquo;s 2024 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/3341703\/walz-blames-harris-campaign-media-strategy-election-loss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">campaign loss<\/a> set women back in their bid to break through the thickest glass ceiling of all, the presidency.<\/p>\n<p>But it wasn&rsquo;t just because Harris failed, said Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/pramila-jayapal\/\" title=\"\">Pramila Jayapal<\/a> (D-WA), but also because of how she was treated as a woman with black and Asian parents.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3343571\/arkansas-ag-griffin-ups-fight-to-defeat-soros-prosecutors\/\">Arkansas AG Griffin ups fight &lsquo;to defeat Soros prosecutors&rsquo;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3343438\/trump-honeymoon-wanes-disapproval-highest-economy\/\">Trump honeymoon wanes, disapproval &lsquo;highest&rsquo;
