Delaware State Sen. Sarah McBride could become the first trans person elected to Congress after she won a primary Tuesday night.
McBride ran virtually unopposed as the only candidate in the primary to have raised any funds, and she had the backing of Delaware Sens. Chris Coons and Tom Carper and Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, who is running in the Senate race to replace Carper.
McBride already became the first-ever transgender state senator in the U.S. after winning election to the Delaware Senate in 2020. The activist-turned-politician, 33, argues there needs to be more diverse representation in Congress.
Delaware’s House seat has been held by Democrats since 2010. President Joe Biden beat former President Donald Trump by 19 points there in 2020.
McBride amassed nearly $3 million in contributions from supporters across the country. She first garnered national attention at the 2016 Democratic National Convention as the first openly transgender person to address a major party convention.
