Delaware State Senator Sarah McBride has won the Democratic primary for the U.S. House of Representatives, securing 84% of the votes against her challengers, Earl Cooper and Elias Weir. If successful in the general election, McBride would become the first openly transgender member of Congress and the youngest Delawarean elected to federal office since Joe Biden. She will face the Republican nominee, likely John Whalen, in November to fill the seat vacated by Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, who is running for the U.S. Senate. McBride, who has raised $2.9 million for her campaign, is favored in the solidly Democratic state. Her platform includes criminal justice reform, implementing gun safety measures, and advocating for health care access. McBride has been a prominent advocate for LGBTQ rights, previously serving as the national press secretary for the Human Rights Campaign.
