Danielle Kurztleben, NPR; The New Congress Has A Record Number Of Women — But Very Few Republican Women
"Both parties also have different ideas about how important diversity
is. One in 3 Republicans believe there are too few women in political
office. In comparison, 8 in 10 Democrats think so, according to the Pew Research Center.
Walsh
adds that pitching a candidate's gender as a positive factor is a tough
sell in a party where "identity politics" is an insult.
"On
the Republican side there is a real shunning of identity politics. In
fact, when Paul Ryan became speaker, he thought that the number one
reason that there was the kind of partisan gridlock in Washington was
because of identity politics,"
she said. "So that makes it harder it makes it harder when you go out
to raise money and make the case for why why do elect more women, if you
can't talk about the substantive difference that they make by being
there.""
