Rep.-elect Sarah McBride is ready to 'push back' on a second Trump administration

Voters in Delaware elected the country’s first out transgender member of Congress on Tuesday, with NBC News projecting a win for state Sen.

Voters in Delaware elected the country’s first out transgender member of Congress on Tuesday, with NBC News projecting a win for state Sen. Sarah McBride in the race for the state’s only House seat.

At the same time, voters across the United States chose to send Donald Trump back to the White House, NBC News projected, electing a presidential ticket that many advocates warned would be the worst in American history for trans people.

On Tuesday afternoon, prior to either race being called, when asked what she would do in that scenario, McBride said she would be prepared to push back on another Trump term.

McBride said she didn’t want “to downplay the danger that comes with a second Trump administration” for LGBTQ people, but that hope “only makes sense in the face of hardship.”

“It has always been in our community’s biggest challenges that we take our most significant steps forward,” she said after voting in Wilmington.
