Outgoing Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi stated in a recent interview that she believes it is unlikely a woman will be elected US president in her lifetime, citing a "marble ceiling" hindering female advancement. Pelosi expressed disappointment, noting she expected a female president before a female House Speaker. She referenced Hillary Clinton's and Kamala Harris' defeats, suggesting the American people may be more ready for a female president than Congress.
