Sarah McBride Wins Delaware Primary, Poised to Become First Transgender Congress Member

McBride, a state senator, secured the Democratic nomination for Delaware's sole House seat and is favored to win the general election in November.

Sarah McBride won the Democratic primary for Delaware's only U.S. House seat, defeating opponents Earl Cooper and Elias Weir.
If elected in November, McBride will make history as the first openly transgender member of the U.S. Congress.
McBride has raised nearly $3 million in campaign contributions and has endorsements from prominent Delaware Democrats, including Sens. Chris Coons and Tom Carper.
She will face Republican John Whalen, a retired state police officer, in the general election.
The seat is being vacated by Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, who is running for the U.S. Senate and could become Delaware's first Black senator.
