Sarah McBride is to become the first transgender state senator in the US, after declaring victory in Delaware.
She beat Republican Steve Washington to take over the seat from Democrat Harris McDowell, who is standing down.
Ms McBride, 30, has worked as the press secretary of LGBT advocacy group the Human Rights Campaign and as a trainee in the White House during the Obama administration.
She will now become the highest-ranking trans official in the country.
I hope tonight shows an LGBTQ kid that our democracy is big enough for them, too.

In New York, Ritchie Torres, 32, will become the first black gay member of Congress.
And he is expected to do so along with fellow New York candidate Mondaire Jones, whose race has not yet been called.
Meanwhile, Republican Madison Cawthorn, 25, won in North Carolina to become the first member of Congress born in the 1990s.
From the bottom of my heart, Thank you.
All glory goes to God and I am excited to serve each and every member of this district. Thank you! pic.twitter.com/oFnizpzqVa

And after comfortably winning her seat in Georgia, Marjorie Taylor Greene, 46, has been labelled by US media as “the first US lawmaker to openly support the QAnon conspiracy theory”.
At its heart, QAnon is a wide-ranging, unfounded conspiracy theory that says US President Donald Trump is waging a secret war against elite Satan-worshipping paedophiles in government, business and the media.
Ms Greene distanced herself from the QAnon conspiracy theory in an interview with Fox News in August.
But she says she has broken another record – becoming the first woman to represent Northwest Georgia in Congress.
And finally, astronaut Mark Kelly has won the race to be elected to the Senate, in Arizona, but incredibly he is not the first former astronaut to do so.
Former Ohio senator John Glenn took that distinction when he was elected, in 1974, an office he held until 1999.
Our poor country. They took God out of schools and now our country has gone paganistic. Christians will be martyred. Our voices will be muffled. Keep the faith. God will bless us.

Who gives a shit as long as I can be unbiasedly represented?
Uh oh. I SMELL TROUBLE!
Unbiased without God? …. it’ll never happen! Aren’t you aware of why we’re in the state of confusion, hate and chaos?? Do a REAL reality check.
GOD ain’t done yet: we will see her people transformed by HIS GLORY : in America the wind of revival by day the cloud of mercy and pillar of fire by night.
I agree Blanca Holland!
I agree also with Bianca Holland
He is not a she
My recommendation is that we seceed Wash/Oregon and the dreaded debt hole California and build a wall around it and allow them to be our offloading point for everyone that is screwed up in the head kind of like England did with Australia. Then they can all sit around and cry all day feeling sorry for everything including the roaches crwaeling around in thier house.
What the hell? Why would they vote a mentally to ill
Person?
Good luck
Electing the mentally ill to public office will end in A major disasterr
