Sarah McBride has become the first openly transgender person elected to the US House of Representatives, winning Delaware's at-large seat. Her victory marks a significant milestone in LGBTQ+ representation in politics. McBride, a Delaware state senator, has a history of breaking barriers, including being the first trans person elected to a state senate and the first to intern at the White House.
