As Kamala Harris steps into the 2024 race, echoes of Clinton’s 2016 struggle resurface
Democrat Hillary Clinton was the first female candidate to secure a major party’s nomination for the US presidency. She ran against Republican Donald Trump in the 2016 election. A few months before the election, Kuwait University’s Gulf Studies Centre hosted a seminar to evaluate the prospects of both candidates
Experts in American political affairs were invited to the seminar, where extensive discussions took place. Most attendees predicted a victory for Hillary Clinton, with only one participant forecasting a win for Donald Trump. This example underscores the inherent unpredictability of US elections. Although Clinton won the popular vote, she ultimately fell short in securing the necessary majority in the Electoral College.
