A woman who is going to be fighting for the freedoms of all Delawarans. A woman who is going to be joining the party that nominated the first African American woman to be the president.
Sarah McBride, an activist turned Delaware state senator is a transgender woman.
If she is elected in November, she will become the first American transgender woman to be seated in the 119th Session of the U.S. House of Representatives.
That also comes as Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE) being the first African American woman to be elected to the seat. She is the current nominee running for the Senate to replace Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE). She will be likely elected and will become the fourth Black woman serving the Senate.
President Joe Biden will back them as well as Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz in their bid for president.
McBride won the Democratic Primary election for the 2024 United States House of Representatives election in Delaware, winning 79.9% of the votes against two other opponents, officially becoming the Democratic nominee. She is favored to win the general election.
On Tuesday, voters in the Blue Hen State were deciding their fall nominees in several political contests, including picking Matt Meyer, the chief executive of Delaware’s most populous county, in the Democratic primary for governor.
McBride won Tuesday’s primary over businessmen Earl Cooper and Elias Weir, neither of whom reported raising any money for their campaigns. Cooper is a political newcomer, while Weir finished dead last in a 2016 congressional primary with less than 1% of the vote.
McBride, meanwhile, raised almost $3 million in contributions from around the country. McBride achieved national recognition at the 2016 Democratic National Convention as the first openly transgender person to address a major party convention in the United States.
McBride will face James Whalen IIII, a retired state police officer and construction company owner from Millsboro, who won the GOP primary race against Donyale Hall, a Dover businesswoman and a Gulf War-era veteran of the U.S. Air Force. Democrats have held the seat since 2010.
While I am rooting for her to win, the issue that faces her, Rochester and other Democrats running is their support for Israel and being funded by the controversial American Israel Public Affairs Committee, one of the largest foreign lobbying groups in the country.
The problem is AIPAC and its proxy Democratic Majority for Israel. These entities are ensuring that McBride will support the apartheid ethnostate of Israel regardless of its crimes against humanity.
The foreign lobbying group has already have its grip on her and Whalen.
