Bill Clinton Says US May Elect Female Republican President

In a recent CBS interview, former President Bill Clinton remarked that the U.S. may not yet be ready for a female president, particularly following Vice President Kamala Harris's loss to Donald Trump. He suggested that a conservative Republican woman might have a better chance of breaking the glass ceiling, citing the historical success of figures like Margaret Thatcher. Clinton also reflected on the political shift to the right and the cultural battles that complicate a woman's path to the presidency, asserting that had his wife Hillary Clinton been nominated in 2008, she would have won just as Obama did. Despite these challenges, he expressed optimism that a female president will be elected soon, indicating support for Harris and the importance of her candidacy. Additionally, Clinton discussed his new book, 'Citizen,' which addresses his past affair with Monica Lewinsky and aims to help her move beyond the scandal. He concluded with concerns about the implications of another Trump presidency, labeling it a 'travesty.'
