Chris Cillizza opened a can of worms by stating that it appears the first woman president will likely be a Republican and not a Democrat.

Cillizza said he’d been hearing a recurring theme from Democrat strategists since the 2024 election. “They do not think their party, the Democratic Party, should choose a female nominee come 2028 because they think the country… will  not elect a woman as president.”

In fact, according to Cillizza’s deep dive into numbers and polls, the support for having a woman president dropped significantly from 94% in 2019 to 57% just before the 2024 election.

Now, a reasonable person might conclude that the 2016 trouncing of Hillary Clinton by Donald Trump along with the running of disaster-candidate Kamala Harris, who was also trounced by Trump, might have something to do with it.

Still, Cillizza said the sentiment from both sides of the political aisle is that if and when there is a female president, it will likely be Republican.

His comments raised some interesting reactions on X with one familiar name that kept popping up:

Some other names were also mentioned and ran the gamut on both political sides:
