Delaware voters gave Sarah McBride, who made history in the last election as the first out transgender member of Congress, another term, with more than 64 percent of the vote against Republican Joseph Arminio. She even carried Sussex County, the conservative southern county she lost in 2024, with about 53 percent.

With Democrats taking back the House, McBride will return with two years of relationships and legislative experience — and an opportunity to show what she can do in the majority.

“My theory of change has always been about building relationships and trust, and through those relationships and that trust, opening hearts and changing minds and encouraging people to do the right thing,” McBride says.
