Women’s Health and Leadership Updates
Welcome to your source for news on powerful women. The new documentary ‘Ariel at 40’ showcases Mellody Hobson’s journey from intern to co-CEO, and a recent study finds that women require less exercise than men to gain similar health benefits. Also, Nikki Haley has exited the Republican presidential race. Let’s delve into these topics.
Nikki Haley’s Exit
Nikki Haley’s decision to withdraw from the Republican presidential race was anticipated. The former UN ambassador and South Carolina governor suspended her campaign for the GOP nomination on Wednesday. Haley’s White House bid ended after securing victory in only one of 15 contests – Vermont.
With Haley’s departure, the Republican nomination is now primarily with former President Donald Trump. The Supreme Court has facilitated this by stopping states from removing him from their ballots due to his involvement in the Jan. 6 insurrection. Haley was primarily supported by donors who viewed her as a Republican alternative to Trump. Whilst announcing the suspension of her campaign, she urged Trump to “earn” the votes of those who haven’t supported him yet.
Many feminists may not be particularly dismayed by Haley’s departure, as her conservative politics do not align with their vision for the U.S. However, her departure signifies another election cycle without a female contender for the top position – another four years to wait. The focus this year will shift towards policies that directly impact our lives, such as abortion rights, paid leave, and affordable childcare.
