Summary
Democratic Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester has won Delaware’s Senate seat, becoming the first Black woman to represent the state in the Senate, NBC News projects.
Blunt Rochester, already a history-maker as Delaware’s first woman and Black member of Congress, ran on a platform focused on jobs, health care, and reproductive rights. She succeeds her mentor, retiring Sen. Tom Carper.
In her victory speech, she honored the three Black women senators before her and expressed commitment to representing all Delawareans.
Blunt Rochester’s win marks a significant step toward greater representation of Black women in the Senate.
Delaware’s first woman and Black member of Congress, ran on a platform focused on jobs, health care, and reproductive rights.
Well enjoy seeing none of that happen, Delaware, because there’s fuck all she can do about it.
She’s also the first Delaware senator whose name is a complete sentence.
I love that this article pops up in between others like “US votes for Project 2025 and civil war” and “Man with brain worms who eats roadkill set to run all health agencies”.
