In one of America’s most high-profile Democratic contests, an established male candidate is being taken on by a female challenger who is throwing orthodoxy to the winds.
So which candidate will be endorsed by 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, who has insisted that “misogyny” is one of the many reasons why she lost the election to President Donald Trump?
According to a new report in The New York Times, Clinton will visit the New York State Democratic Convention on Wednesday to bestow her endorsement on Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who served as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under her husband, former President Bill Clinton.
Clinton reemerges from post-book tour silence to endorse perhaps the most establishment, Democratic machine gubernatorial candidate in the nation, Cuomo, after Sanders-inspired Our Revolution endorsed Nixon. https://t.co/HTOb6invOz

Interesting, while Hillary Clinton ran on being the first female President, she’s backing Andrew Cuomo over Cynthia Nixon – who’d become the first female governor in NY. It’s almost like Clinton used her gender as a marketing ploy and doesn’t actually care about progress 🤔 https://t.co/Y0e2zhP51L
