Pelosi: A woman can win White House despite 'a certain element of misogyny'

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the highest-ranking elected woman in the United States, cited “a certain element of misogyny” that may get in the way of a woman winning a presidential election, but said “America is ready” for a female president who can “connect well with the American people.”

Pelosi, a California Democrat, told reporters she believes Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Vice President Joe Biden have beaten a slew of female candidates running for the Democratic presidential nomination because voters were familiar with them.

Biden was a high-profile vice president for President Barack Obama for eight years, and Sanders generated a big following when he ran for president in 2016.
