But it is still about politics... good news about a trans candidate.
ReutersBy Moira WarburtonOctober 29, 2024Democrat Sarah McBride is expected to make history next week as the first openly transgender person elected to the U.S. Congress.She is no stranger to making history: In 2016 she became the first openly transgender person to address a major U.S. political convention and in 2020 became the first to serve in a U.S. state Senate.McBride, 34, is favored to win Delaware's sole seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, after securing the Democratic nomination in a competitive September primary and is expected to easily win a seat that the three major U.S. nonpartisan political rating services rate solidly Democratic."The fact that the candidacy of someone like me is even possible... is a testament to Delawareans," McBride said in a Saturday interview.However, she sought to play down the history-making nature of her nomination and expected election.
She has made name for herself in Delaware and hopefully it will carry over in the House. My concern is that if the Republicans maintain control of the House, how will they treat her? Will they treat her like the Republicans did in Montana to Rep. Zephyr?
