(CNN) In an interview with SiriusXM Radio on Friday morning, Kamala Harris was asked whether, if she wins the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, she would consider naming a woman as her running mate.

"Yes, I would," she responded, adding that an all-female ticket would be "fabulous."

Pressed by SiriusXM's Mark Thompson on whether Americans, who have still not elected a female president, are ready for such a thing, Harris was more circumspect: "We'll see if it happens."

And she's not the only female candidate considering it. Sen. Elizabeth Warren also told Thompson: "I'd put a woman on my ticket. I'd put a man on my ticket. What I want is somebody who'd be in the fight."

If "it" happens --and by "it" I mean Harris or Warren is the party's nominee -- that, in and of itself, would be consequential. Prior to Hillary Clinton's victory in the 2016 primary fight, neither party had ever even nominated a woman as its presidential standard-bearer. (Sarah Palin and Geraldine Ferraro had both been named VP, although their tickets lost the election.)
