Transgender rights take center stage as Sarah McBride prepares for Congress

Sarah McBride is poised to become the first openly transgender lawmaker in Congress, representing Delaware. Her election comes amid heightened tensions over transgender rights, particularly with Donald Trump’s campaign focusing on rolling back these rights. Trump has spent over $21 million on ads attacking Kamala Harris for her support of transgender issues. McBride plans to address broader concerns, emphasizing bipartisan cooperation rather than her identity. Despite the challenges posed by a potential Trump presidency, McBride aims to prioritize issues like housing and healthcare. She intends to work with both parties, focusing on collaboration rather than engaging with extreme political rhetoric.
