Delaware State Senator Sarah McBride is on the verge of making political history once again after winning a Democratic primary on Sept. 10 for the lone congressional seat in her home state.
The 34-year-old state lawmaker, who pulled in 80% of the vote in the Democratic primary election contest against Earl Cooper and Elias Weir, is favored to win the general election and would become the first out trans member of Congress if she emerges victorious in the November contest for the at-large seat. McBride will face off against GOP nominee James Whalen III, who received 18,000 votes — far fewer than the 64,000 votes McBride earned in her race.
