After several male Democratic presidential hopefuls pledged to select a woman as their running mate, 2020 presidential candidate John Hickenlooper wondered why the female candidates in the field aren’t being asked whether they would pick a man. The former Colorado governor affirmed Wednesday that he would “of course” pick a woman when asked at a CNN town hall. “But how come we’re not asking, more often, the women: ‘Would you be willing to put a man on the ticket?’” he continued. “When we get to that point, I’ll ask you that question,” moderator Dana Bash responded, hinting that Hickenlooper’s question was unnecessary.
