This year, more women are running for Congress than ever before, shattering records set in 2018. But this time, the increase in female candidates is driven in part by Republican women on the ballot. Lisa Desjardins reports on what the GOP has done to attract women -- and what they still need to do to close the wide gender gap in the House.

Correction: In this segment, we incorrectly stated that Nancy Mace would be the first woman to represent South Carolina in Congress. In fact, Mace would be the first Republican woman from the state. NewsHour regrets the error.
