Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wins reelection to U.S. House in New York's 14th Congressional District

Decision Desk HQ called the race at 9 p.m. ET, projecting another term for the Democratic incumbent as House control remains at stake.

  • On Tuesday, Delaware voters reelected Congresswoman Sarah McBride to the U.S. House of Representatives for a second term, defeating Republican challenger Joseph Arminio according to Decision Desk HQ, which called the race at 8 p.m. Eastern.
  • McBride's victory follows her historic 2024 win, establishing her as the first openly transgender person elected to federal office and marking her continued tenure representing Delaware's lone U.S. House seat.
  • Her first term involved institutional challenges, including House Speaker Mike Johnson barring transgender people from restrooms aligned with their gender identity. McBride described the episode as deeply personal, stating that calling it a "bathroom controversy" feels cheap.
  • Since her initial election, McBride has balanced significant national attention regarding her identity with representing Delawareans, allowing her to advance her legislative agenda in Congress. "I am here in Congress for everyone," she said.
  • Delawareans will see McBride continue representing them in the new legislative session after navigating two years of intense scrutiny, solidifying her position in Congress as she addresses constituent needs.
