U.S. Rep. Sarah McBride of Delaware
Sarah McBride has made history again tonight as the first transgender person elected to Congress. Voters in Delaware have chosen McBride, who in 2020 became the first transgender person in the country elected to a state senate, by a
Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester
23 percent margin to replace Lisa Blunt Rochester, who stepped down from that seat to run for the U.S. Senate.
McBride, a Democrat, defeated Republican John Whalen to claim Delaware’s only seat in the U.S. House.
Blunt Rochester became the first woman and the first Black person to represent Delaware in Congress when she was first elected to the U.S. House in 2016. She has held the seat until stepping down to run for the Senate. She also made history tonight for the second time when she defeated Republican Eric Hansen and Independent Michael Katz, 56 percent to 40 percent to 4 percent, to become the first woman and the first Black person to represent Delaware in the U.S. Senate.
