Year Of The Woman

1992 was hailed as the "Year of the Woman" for the record number of female candidates elected to national office. Today, a wave of women candidates, many inspired by the results of the 2016 election and emboldened by the #MeToo movement, may help Democrats tip the balance of power in Washington. Joining The Takeaway are Tiffany Shedd, who is running for the Republican nomination in AZ-01, and Lauren Underwood, the Democratic nominee in IL-14. Later, we'll hear from Senator Patty Murray, who was sent to Washington in 1992's historic election cycle, and more.
