Transgender activist Sarah McBride continues to make political history.
In 2016, McBride, who interned at the White House during President Barack Obama’s administration, appeared onstage at the Democratic National Convention, becoming the first transgender person to speak at a major party convention.
Tonight, she became the first transgender person to be elected as a state senator in the United States. Democrat McBride, who was elected to Delaware’s General Assembly after defeating Republican candidate Steve Washington, will be the highest-ranked openly transgender elected lawmaker in the country.
