Season 2022 Episode 34 | 9m 52s

The 2020 Democratic presidential primary saw a historic number of women vie for the nomination, yet none made it across the finish line. But why hasn’t the U.S. elected a woman president and what factors are at play in this country? NBC correspondent Ali Vitali's new book, “Electable: Why America Hasn't Put a Woman in the White House . . . Yet,” delves into these questions.
