Summary
Sarah McBride has made history as the first openly transgender person elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, winning Delaware’s at-large House seat.
McBride, a Democrat, emphasized her commitment to reproductive rights, affordable healthcare, paid leave, and LGBTQ+ equality throughout her campaign. Previously, McBride became the first transgender person elected to a state senate in 2020 and was a prominent LGBTQ+ advocate with roles at the Human Rights Campaign and in Delaware’s legislature.
Her victory comes amid a surge in anti-trans legislation and rhetoric, including significant spending on anti-trans ads by Republican groups.
Trans woman that is, at this time, likely going into the MAGA fire. We need to support the shit out of her.
Sadly, there’s a good chance she’ll be dead before 2026. Trump’s win will embolden the Christian Taliban like never before.
Oh shit… Worst time to do this. Holy fuck I’m sorry.
at least there is a good win to be had this election
McBride has the potential to make a lot of good waves in the span of her career
If Trump wins , he becomes a dictator and guess what she will be one of the first who get purge from office. We better be ready to fight goddamm it.
That was what I was thinking, and he will have the backing of the supreme court.
God I feel sorry for you Americans and us as the rest of the world
I don’t envy her.
Careful, woman. That place is full of evil people that want to end you.
Yeah, that’s got to suck for her going into this with no power to stop anything that’s going to come from this upcoming fascist regime.
May she experience less workplace harassment at her new job than I expect her to
She’s going in the camps if she doesn’t wise up and use her privilege to get out of the country.
The call is coming from inside the house!
Good achievement for Sarah. Glad to see.
She is an avid Israel supporter, too.
