Entity reports on what the women of the senate think of Hillary in the White House.

Even if you were feelin’ the Bern or want to make America great again, you can’t deny that Hillary Clinton is changing history to “herstory” in this trending election. With Clinton’s campaign to become the first woman (note: not first lady) to take over the White House, she’s bringing some major female power into the political arena. Clinton could be the first woman president but she’s definitely not the first woman in the world of Washington.

So what do the ladies of Washington think of Hillary in the house?

Five female leaders rocking Washington Hill weigh in on Hillary’s campaign:

1 SENATOR BARBARA BOXER (D) – HILLARY’S GOT GRAVITAS.

In a Nov. 2015 MSNBC video interview, Sen. Barbara Boxer pledged her support of Clinton’s campaign early on and complimented her character. “This woman has the gravitas,” Boxer said. “She understands soft power [and] hard power in the world. She’s calling for a big rebuild for America […] She is the candidate we need.”

2 SENATOR JONI ERNST (R) – HILLARY NEEDS EMPATHY FOR WOMEN’S ISSUES.

Sen. Joni Ernst emphasized that she will not be supporting Clinton simply because of her gender in a June 2016 CNN interview. “It’s not enough to be a woman,” Ernst said. “You have to care about women’s issues. […] And [Iowan] women want strong national defense. We want to know that our families are going to be safe.”

3 SENATOR DIANNE FEINSTEIN (D) – HILLARY’S GOT CONNECTIONS.

During a March 2016 interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, Sen. Dianne Feinstein emphasized Clinton’s connections in D.C. (and beyond). “[Clinton] has been able to know and understand world leaders on an unprecedented basis,” Feinstein said. “She will know more of the leadership of the world than anyone who has ever been elected to the presidency. She will know whom to go [to] — and that is important.”

4 SENATOR DEB FISHER (R) – HILLARY NEEDS HONESTY.

Sen. Deb Fisher vowed her allegiance to her party in a Dec. 2015 interview with Lincoln Journal Star. “I will support the Republican nominee,” Fisher said. “I don’t believe Hillary Clinton will offer any good solutions for the challenges we are facing. [Also her] honesty and accountability [will be] an issue.”

5 SENATOR MAZIE HIRONO (D) – HILLARY’S GOT BATTLE SCARS.

Although she was feelin’ the Bern, Sen. Mazie Hirono is pro-Hillary, according to a March 2016 Civil Beat interview. “[Bernie] talks about the kinds of things that I’ve been fighting for in income inequality and economic opportunities — that a lot of us have been fighting for for a long time,” Hirono said. “[But] I am supporting Hillary. She has the experience and the battle scars that I believe our next president should have.”
