A lawmaker in Delaware has become the first openly transgender woman elected to Congress.
Democrat Sarah McBride was the favorite to win the only congressional district in Delaware - which is traditionally a Democratic stronghold.
Speaking tonight, Ms McBride said: 'Tonight is a testament to Delawareans that we are a fair-minded state where voters judge candidates based on their ideas and not their identities.'
The New York Times reported that Ms McBride believed her victory was a sign that she had earned the support of voters by leading efforts to improve their everyday economic lives through measures like paid family and medical leave.
Her opponent, James Whalen III, was a former state police officer who has never held political office.
Mr Whalen's campaign focused on slashing federal spending and reducing illegal immigration.
He has also previously endorsed Project 2025 at a debate in the state in September.
Ms McBride's victory comes after the Republican presidential campaign focused heavily on transgender issues.
Former President Trump falsely claimed on numerous occasions that public schools urge students to undergo gender-transition surgeries.
Meanwhile his running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, suggested that white, upper-middle-class families view transgender identities as a way to improve their children’s chances of admission to elite colleges.

“Sarah” is just a man pretending to be female.
Well, the Dems can get some thrill out of the Speaker having to figure out how to address the congressit from Delaware.
“HER opponent, James Whalen III, was a former state police officer who has never held political office.”
“HE has also previously endorsed Project 2025 at a debate in the state in September.”
Ed Holt, dude, you’re beginning to confuse me: Are we referring to a man or a woman? Maybe I need to consult with Ketanji Brown Jackson and find out what a biologist is,
I suspect it's just "congressperson" since that's been used for many years now.
Personally I prefer "congresscritter"...
If she congratulates Trump and plans to work with him on the multitude of issues facing our country that have nothing to do with gender, she will win my respect.
True. OTOH, with a decent nose job his face could pass acceptably in a dark room.
He'd still flunk the Crocodile Dundee junk test, however, assuming he still has his junk. I think statistically most M->F trans remain intact, which to me indicates they don't really mean it. I side with Dave Chapelle - if they cut it off, I'm more inclined to take them seriously.
He, not she. And he’s a Democrat.
Opus?
Trumpian common sense transcends partisanship. Does he/she/they like endless wars? Inflation?
If they’re radical Democrats, then the answer is obviously yes. No such thing as a non-radical transgender Democrat; “Trumpian common sense” is alien to them.
How about, “Congressman,” because he’s a man in a woman Halloween costume and nothing more.
The DNC’s bright spot tonight. A freak got elected.
Mot of them have autogynephilia, which I will leave you to search the definition of, as I prefer not to explain it here. In short, they fetishize being women, they don’t really think they are women. They simply can’t tell the difference.
Most men also don’t want to lose the prospect of being able to achieve climax, trans or not. Lopping those parts off means no more happy ending.
The fly in the ointment.
Hope the Democrat ladies enjoy sharing stalls on taco Tuesdays.
First mentally ill male…. Having said that, in this case, political office, not really the first.
Delaware , the same state that gave us Jow Biden elects this freak
Is this a pattern ??
Was McBride ahead by a nose?
DELAWARE IS ONE SICKO STATE!
WHAT BATHROMM IS HE GOING TO USE?
