Delaware State Senator Sarah McBride has won the Democratic primary for the state's U.S. House seat, positioning her to potentially become the first openly transgender member of Congress. She secured 82% of the vote, defeating two political newcomers, and is favored to win the general election against either GOP candidate Donyale Hall or James Whalen III. McBride's campaign has garnered significant support, raising nearly $3 million, and she has been endorsed by various prominent Democratic figures. Previously, she made history as the first openly transgender state senator in the U.S. in 2020 and gained national recognition for her role at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Her key priorities include expanding access to healthcare, protecting reproductive rights, and raising the minimum wage. The seat she seeks was vacated by Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, who is running for the Senate.
