A woman would never win the Republican primary as long as MAGA dominates the right.

And Democrats aren't so broadly driven by identity politics that a Republican candidate merely being a woman would attract significant Democratic defectors. She would still have to be somewhat inspiring/charismatic, fairly centrist, and probably pro-choice.

Even in the peak-"woke" Democratic primary of 2020, all the women lost to two old white men.

The main reason for that was all of the candidates throwing their support behind the non-socialist when it looked like the socialist was going to win.
