Now, almost a year after that first weekend trip to Iowa, Warren stands as the lone female candidate at the top of the Democratic field. Seven candidates have qualified to participate in the Los Angeles debate, and only two of them are women: Warren and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar. In national polls, her support among female voters has corresponded with her overall standing in the race. A New York Times poll released last month did, however, capture how sexism likely presents a real obstacle for female candidates like Warren. At a recent Warren campaign event in Exeter, New Hampshire, retired teacher Larry Feltz said he was excited about Warren's candidacy and also interested in South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
