    Race and the 2020 Elections

    As we enter the final weeks before the U.S. elections, the stakes could not be higher. Against the backdrop of a surging pandemic, the country continues to experience record unemployment, small-business closures, and other forms of economic insecurity.

    The challenges of being a woman on the ticket in 2020

    California Senator Kamala Harris’s selection for the vice-presidential spot is an historic moment. Selecting Harris as a running mate appears to be a pretty reasonable choice for Joe Biden.

    Let’s Not Waste a Great Opportunity

    With six weeks remaining until the U.S. Presidential Election, the race is locked in a virtual deadlock.  That fact, in and of itself, is pretty remarkable given that a woman is as likely to be the next president as a man.  I understand that readers in countries such as the UK and Germany will not find that […]
