Transgender Candidate In Delaware Could Cruise To US House Seat

Sarah McBride, a state lawmaker who won the Democratic primary, would become the first openly transgender member of Congress if she defeats Republican James Whalen III, a former police officer, in November. Separately, former Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo testified in Congress about New York's covid policies.

Sarah McBride, a state legislator, won the Democratic primary for Delaware鈥檚 only U.S. House seat, The Associated Press reported, making her the heavy favorite to win in November in the deep-blue state. If elected, she would become the first openly transgender member of Congress. (Harmon, 9/10)

Democrats joined Republicans to insist that former New York governor Andrew Cuomo explain whether his administration slow-walked accurate data on nursing home deaths, in a hearing room packed with attendees who lost family members to covid in New York nursing homes. (Diamond, 9/10)

Representative Joe Wilson, Republican of South Carolina, was taken to a hospital on Tuesday, according to a social media post. Alan Wilson, Joe Wilson鈥檚 son and the attorney general of South Carolina, said in a separate post that 鈥渄octors have confirmed to us that he has experienced stroke-like symptoms.鈥 ... Mr. Wilson, 77, came to prominence after shouting 鈥測ou lie鈥 at President Barack Obama during a joint session of Congress in 2009. (Petrei, 9/10)

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump urged GOP lawmakers to refuse to pass a short-term bill to keep the government funded if they don鈥檛 get a provision that aims to prevent noncitizens from voting. The deadline for Congress to act to avoid a partial government shutdown is Sept. 30. (Hughes, Ferek and Timms, 9/10)
