“Any candidate who breaks the norm
is subject to a string of nosy questions”
When Cory Booker had first
announced he was running for president I had remembered him from the Dr. Ford
and Kavanaugh hearing. I did some quick research on Booker and I was
surprised to see that he is single, my first thought had been, I wondered how
the American people feel about this, since the majority of our formal
presidents have been married.
I then came across this article
summing up what could possibly be the pros and cons to having a president who
is not married.
The author mentions how this can be
a test case for how much American attitudes have changed from previous
elections, “America’s self-image soon became
bound with the idea that families were the building blocks of the nation, and
that putting the family first was a moral virtue”.
This upcoming election seems like we have a lot of diversity going on, I am very curious to see how this upcoming
election will play out.
