For the record I think this is basically correct. I think that being black or hispanic means getting more penalized for being more on the left, and I think there's just generally a being a lady penalty.

Not insurmountable, but they make things harder. I think gender-flipped Hillary Clinton pulls it out in 2016, for example.
All of which is to say, let's hope Fetterman hangs on in Pennsylvania. Fetterman 28 or 32 would be possible then, but he has to have a win before then.
