Sarah McBride made history Tuesday, becoming the first transgender state senator in the United States by besting a Republican opponent Steve Washington.

McBride, who segues to the seat after serving as a spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaign, tweeted a message of gratitude after the news broke, posting, "We did it.

We won the general election. Thank you, thank you, thank you.I hope tonight shows an LGBTQ kid that our democracy is big enough for them, too." The victory is the latest history-making move for McBride.
