Representative Elect Sarah McBride shattered yet another pink ceiling becoming the first transgender person to be elected to the US Congress, winning by 60%. McBride sat down with Chis Hayes and talked about what made her campaign so sucessfull.
She won in the November 2020 election in the 1st Delaware State Senate district. As the first openly transgender state senator in the country, she is the highest-ranking transgender elected official in United States history.
"In DC, I’ll be uniformly focused on the issues that matter most to Delawareans — making life more affordable by passing paid family and medical leave, raising wages for workers, and making healthcare and childcare more accessible and affordable," McBride posted on Instagram. "That’s what I ran this campaign promising to do, and that’s what I’ll fight for no matter who is in the White House."
