McBride said she was proud to be Delaware's next member of Congress in a statement thanking voters in the state.

"Delaware has sent the message loud and clear that we must be a country that protects reproductive freedom, that guarantees paid leave and affordable child care for all our families, that ensures that housing and health care are available to everyone and that this is a democracy that is big enough for all of us," she said.

In another historic win for the state, Representative Lisa Blunt Rochester has become the first Black and the first female Senator for Delaware.

"From the bottom of my heart, Delaware, thank you," she said in a statement.
