Abstract
When Vice President Kamala Harris accepted President Joe Biden’s endorsement on Sunday to replace him on the Democratic ticket and to run for the party’s nomination, she emphasized her intention to “earn and win” support for her candidacy. Historically, earning widespread support has proved to be a challenge for women candidates seeking the highest political offices in a country—with a 2023 Pew study finding that women served as government heads in just 13 of the 193 member states of the United Nations, and that fewer than one-third of UN countries have ever had a woman leader.
