Congratulations, Sarah!
For the first time in history, the United States has a sitting congressperson who is transgender.
Congratulations to Sarah McBride, whose race was just called by MSNBC.
She wins in a year where a historic amount of anti-trans ads were blared across TV screens in America.

We just won our Senate race! As a son of immigrants, a public school kid, I never could’ve imagined I’d get to serve as a US Senator. I’m deeply humbled and grateful to NJ and for everyone who got us here. I promise I’ll serve with honor and integrity as a public servant for all.

There’s a TikTok trend of college women driving to their home states to vote after their mail-in ballots didn’t show up on time.
I’ve never seen anything like it in the US.
Eff DeJoy though.
