History was made in three states on Election Day.  In Delaware, Lisa Blunt Rochester — who already made history as the first woman and first Black person to represent the state in Congress — will now become the first Black woman to represent Delaware in the U.S. Senate.

Maryland Democrat Angela Alsobrooks will be the first Black candidate to represent her state in the Senate.

New Jersey Democrat Andy Kim will become the first Korean-American ever elected to the Senate. At 42 years old, he’ll also be the Senate’s third youngest member.

Finally, state senator Sarah McBride , who won Delaware’s only open House seat, will be the first openly transgender person to be elected to Congress.
