“I believe they think so,” Warren told an attendee at a CNN town hall when asked if men have a better chance at defeating Trump because of their gender.
“But they would be wrong,” she added.

Warren went on to explain that voters were skeptical that former President Kennedy could be elected in 1960 due to his Roman Catholic faith, and how former President Obama also faced doubts that he could be elected president as an African American.
Warren has repeatedly pushed back on the notion that her gender would be a roadblock on her path to the White House, noting her past electoral successes.
The issue of gender and electability took center stage in the primary last month after Warren said Sanders, during a private meeting in 2018, expressed doubts over whether a woman could be elected president in 2020.
Sanders has vehemently denied the allegation, calling it “ludicrous” at the last Democratic debate in Iowa.
“Anybody who knows me knows that it’s incomprehensible that I would think that a woman could not be president of the United States,” he said.
