Sarah McBride prepares to take office as first transgender member of Congress

Sarah McBride, elected as Delaware's representative, made history as the first transgender member of Congress. She will be sworn in on January 3, 2024, after a contentious election where Republicans gained control of the government. Upon her arrival, McBride faced a GOP proposal to ban her from using female bathrooms. She chose not to engage in the controversy, emphasizing her focus on broader issues affecting Delawareans rather than her identity. McBride aims to work across party lines and prioritize lowering costs for families. She expressed a desire to be a voice for all Delawareans, not just the LGBTQ community, and to foster bipartisan cooperation in Congress.
