MODERATORS
Delaware elected Sarah McBride, who is the first open transgender representative in Congress.
Georgia district attorney Fani Willis, who has been trying to prosecute Trump for trying to overturn the 2020 election, won reelection.
Washington Congressman Dan Newhouse, one of the ten Republicans who voted to impeach Trump (and one of two in that group who survived the subsequent midterm elections), successfully defended his seat again against a Trump-endorsed opponent. That's at least one Republican in the House who doesn't always rubber-stamp the party agenda.
