McBride, a Democrat who served two terms as a state senator, wins Delaware’s only House seat, NBC News projects.
Sarah McBride successfully lobbied a handful of Republicans to vote against a ban on gender-affirming care for youth.
"The House on Wednesday approved the bill, which would impose felony penalties of up to 10 years in prison on physicians who provide puberty blockers, hormone therapy, or surgical care to patients under 18 for the purpose of gender transition. Introduced by Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, the bill would also expose parents and others who consent to or help minors access that care to criminal liability.
The legislation passed by a vote of 216 to 211. As McBride and Balint predicted, three Democrats — Texas Reps. Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez, and North Carolina Rep. Don Davis — voted in favor of the bill. However, they were successful in pushing four Republicans to vote against: Pennsylvania Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, New York Rep. Mike Lawler, Utah Rep. Mike Kennedy, and Colorado Rep. Gabe Evans."
If one of those four Republican representatives is yours, might be worth giving their office a call or dropping them a note to thank them for their vote.
If not, please call and tell your Senators if you can that this bill cannot be allowed to pass.

They will likely be hearing a lot of yelling by angry cristo-fascists, so it's really important to let them know they did the right thing.

Just in case you missed it, we had a big win yesterday.
"For much of the last two years, Mace has made McBride a frequent target, repeatedly invoking the Delaware Democratic congresswoman in speeches, interviews, social media posts, and legislative fights over transgender rights. Since McBride became the first out trans member of Congress in January 2025, Mace has emerged as one of the most visible anti-trans voices on Capitol Hill, championing efforts to restrict transgender people's access to bathrooms and other gendered facilities in federal buildings. Mace at one point even chased a woman she thought was McBride into a Capitol restroom, only to discover that it was a cisgender colleague.
But on Tuesday, it was McBride delivering the punchline.
"Today is a big day because today is the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary," McBride told the gala crowd. "And for those of you who aren't aware, my colleague and Congress's top bathroom sheriff, Nancy Mace, is on the ballot."
The audience laughed and applauded.
"And while not all of the votes have been counted yet, she is in a respectful fifth place," McBride continued. "I don't like punching down, and I believe in the politics of grace. So all I will say is happy Pride, Nancy."
The room at the Mellon Auditorium erupted with schadenfreude."
The Advocate was there and got video, and it's awesome.
"We will not take a lecture on decorum from a party that incited an insurrection. I appear to live rent free in the minds of some of my Republican colleagues. I wish they would spend even a fraction of the time that they spend thinking about me, thinking about … families."
