Sarah McBride made history in the US election۔
Democrat Sarah McBride would become the first openly transgender person elected to the US House of Representatives, winning the election to Delaware’s at-large seat.
McBride defeated Republican John Whalen III for Delaware’s lone House seat.
McBride, a 34-year-old state senator, won a competitive primary in September for Delaware’s at-large congressional district, which is considered safely Democratic.
She became the first openly transgender person to serve as a state senator when she was elected in 2020, first to speak at a U.S. national political party convention in 2016, and first to intern at the White House in 2012, under Democratic former President Barack Obama.
