Women tend to run for office less. Part of that is due to the fact that there's a confidence gap when it comes to women believing they are qualified to run. This week, we're talking to a woman who has overcome that obstacle and has made the decision to run -- twice. Host Jenny Kaplan speaks with Angie Craig, a Democrat running in a rematch in MN-02. Experts share their perspectives about the different ambitions of men and women and about how women are bringing more authenticity to the campaign trail.
