Female candidates on the Democratic Party ticket in California, many of whom have built their candidacies on opposing President Donald Trump, may not experience the anticipated “pink tsunami” or “Year of the Woman” as so many have hoped in the upcoming June primary elections.

“[I]n California, crowded primaries in crucial battleground districts, entrenched incumbents, notoriously expensive media markets and a top-two primary system that may prove disastrous for Democrats are some of the formidable barriers women face,” notes the Los Angeles Times.

The publication also noted that comedian-turned-activist Chelsea Handler’s hopeful prediction that 2018 would “obviously” be a bigger year for women than the 1992 “Year of the Woman” might fail to come to fruition.

Others may also be disappointed. As Breitbart News reported last year, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) — who was first elected in 1992, and is running for re-election again this year — had predicted that “we are going to have another Year of the Woman” in 2018.

But that may not happen, partly because there are simply too many Democrats running in competitive districts.
