Electable: Why America Hasn't Put a Woman in the White House . . . Yet Ali Vitali

A fearless deep dive into the 2020 election from MSNBC "Road Warrior" Ali Vitali, who covered the campaign trail every step of the way--investigating the sexist double standards placed on women presidential candidates, and what it will take for a woman to finally break the glass ceiling, and win the White House.

Starting at the finale of the 2020 race--the long, drawn-out determination of our next (current) President of the United States, Joe Biden, and the resulting and disputed defeat of Donald Trump, Electable is a moment by moment examination of the women on the campaign trail. As the reporter embedded with Elizabeth Warren, Ali Vitali witnessed up-close the way that our most recent election was unique--not simply for the way in which the incumbent conducted himself, but for the ways in which the field, rich with Democrats from all kinds of backgrounds, was both modern but also more of the same. With more female candidates than ever before, this was a history making campaign, and yet these women--most of them incredibly qualified with decades of public service on their resumes--dealt once again with a different level of scrutiny than their male counterparts. Through the tick-tock coverage from the announcement, to the debates and the primaries and the Veep-stakes, Vitali asked the same questions she and so many had been grappling with since Hillary Clinton's devastating defeat just four years prior: why is it so hard for a woman to be taken seriously as a presidential contender? What will it take for men and women to be held to the same standard? What happens next?

Electable tackles these questions, with specific, behind-the-scenes, play-by-play detail.

Gabbard, Harris, Williamson, Gillibrand, Warren, Klobuchar. And then there were none.
