While the United State Elections vote counting sees a neck and neck competition between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, Sarah McBride became the nation's first openly transgender state senator after claiming a seat in Delaware on Tuesday night. In the previous US Presidential elections in 2016, she became the first openly transgender person to speak at any major-party convention in the country. At present, there are four openly transgender state legislators: Virginia state Del. Danica Roem; Colorado state Rep. Brianna Titone; and New Hampshire state Reps. Lisa Bunker and Gerri Cannon and McBride will be the first Senator. Biden's hopes for a decisive early defeat of Trump faded as the president took solid leads in Florida, Georgia, Ohio and Texas.
