  1. Gotta Love ❤️ This!

    History in the Making 🤗

    #Maryland Rep. #DavidTrone of #TotalWine gave up his safe House seat, spent more than $60 million of his fortune and lost the #Democratic primary to #AngelaAlsobrooks, who hopes to become only the third Black woman to be elected to the Senate!

    And if #LisaBluntRochester of #Delaware wins her Senate contest, voters will have doubled the number of #BlackWomen elected to the Senate in #American history, and for the first time ever, two Black women will serve in the #Senate at once

    And if #SarahMcBride wins, she'll be the first #trans woman elected to #Congress

  4. RT @therecount Rep. David Trone (D-MD), who was in surgery this morning, gets a standing ovation from House Democrats after casting his vote for Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker.
