Sarah McBride Makes History as First Transgender Member of U.S. Congress

The Delaware Democrat's election marks a significant milestone in transgender representation amidst a politically charged climate.

Sarah McBride, a Democrat from Delaware, has become the first openly transgender person elected to the U.S. Congress.
McBride's victory comes as Republicans, led by Donald Trump, push for anti-transgender legislation at the federal level.
Her campaign focused on healthcare, abortion rights, and raising the federal minimum wage, resonating with voters in Delaware.
McBride has a history of breaking barriers, having been the first trans person to serve as a state senator in Delaware and to speak at a major political convention.
Her election is celebrated by LGBTQ advocacy groups as a step forward for transgender visibility and acceptance in American politics.
