In the very first episode of The Diplomat's Cabinet podcast (née as The Gender Diplomat), host Maria Luísa Moreira explores the phenomenon of the "glass cliff" with special guest Marissa Conway, a feminist activist and expert in foreign policy. As Kamala Harris steps into the U.S. presidential race under unique and challenging circumstances, we discuss whether her candidacy represents a historic opportunity or a precarious setup for failure. Listen to unpack the gendered and racial expectations placed on Harris, explore the implications of systemic bias, and consider how American voters might respond to a potential first female, biracial president.
