2024 Presidential Election

President Joe Biden will square off against a Republican challenger (most likely former President Donald Trump, if polls are to be believed). And it’s already shaping up to be a charged race in an already-charged atmosphere. Hot-button issues like abortion, domestic economic woes and foreign wars, which are already inflaming Americans, loom large as part of voters’ calculus as well. When it comes to women in politics, however, Americans by and large aren’t feeling much of anything. A Pew Research Center poll published last fall revealed that a 64% majority of Americans aren’t concerned about having a woman president, and roughly half are unbothered by the lack of representation for women in elected office overall. Yet women could still play significant roles in the year to come. The Center for American Women and Politics said, in a recent study, that we are in an “era of unrivaled potential” to increase women’s influence throughout our political sphere. Below, we’ve singled out 13 women and women-run organizations with the potential to make big splashes in 2024 – for better or worse.
