In the 2024 election, eight women made history: 'It's an honor to be part of this groundbreaking group.'

According to NBC News, it is predicted that Donald Trump will win the U.S. presidential election, thereby continuing the country's 200-year tradition of having a male leader.

This year, fewer women ran for office, but Vice President Kamala Harris made history as the second woman to lead a major-party presidential ticket, and the first Black woman and first South Asian.

The number of women running for seats in the House and Senate did not reach the highs seen in the 2022 and 2020 races, according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.

On Tuesday evening, women in the U.S. made history as Sarah McBride became the first openly transgender member of Congress in Delaware and Angela Alsobrooks became Maryland's first Black senator.

Here are 8 women who made history with their election wins:

Angela Alsobrooks

The first Black woman to represent Maryland in the United States Senate and the second female senator from the state after Democrat Barbara Mikulski is Democrat Angela Alsobrooks, 53.

"We are currently experiencing a time that is unlike any other," Alsobrooks stated to NBC News during the campaign in August. "This election will determine the future we want for our children and grandchildren, as well as the kind of state and country we will create for them."

Lisa Blunt Rochester

Lisa Blunt Rochester, a 62-year-old Democrat, became the first Black and female senator from Delaware by winning the race to succeed retiring Democratic Senator Tom Carper, her former boss.

For the first time in history, the U.S. will have two Black women serving as senators with the election of Blunt Rochester and Maryland's Alsobrooks to the Senate.

Kelly Ayotte

First, Ayotte made history as the first Republican woman elected governor of New Hampshire. Additionally, she was New Hampshire's first female attorney general, serving in that role before moving on to Congress for one term.

In 2025, thirteen women will govern simultaneously, surpassing the previous record of twelve women holding office at once.

Emily Randall

Emily Randall, a 39-year-old Democrat, is the first openly LGBTQ person elected to Congress from Washington State and the first openly LGBTQ Latina elected to Congress after winning a House seat in the state's 6th Congressional district, which covers the Olympic Peninsula, the Kitsap Peninsula, and parts of Tacoma.

Sarah McBride

Sarah McBride, a 34-year-old Democrat from Delaware, made history as the first openly transgender person to be elected to Congress. At an election night celebration on Tuesday, she stated, "Tonight is a testament to Delawareans that here in our state of neighbors, we judge candidates based on their ideas and not their identities."

Yassamin Ansari

Ansari, a 32-year-old Democrat, is the first Iranian American woman to represent Arizona in Congress after winning a House seat in the state's 3rd Congressional District. She is the daughter of Iranian immigrants and served on the Phoenix City Council from 2021 to 2024.

Julie Fedorchak

Julie Fedorchak, a 56-year-old Republican, became the first woman to represent North Dakota in the House of Representatives after winning the open seat for the state's at-large district on Election Day. She has been a public commissioner in North Dakota since 2013.

Julie Johnson

In Texas, Julie Johnson, a 58-year-old Democrat and an out LGBTQ person, won the open-seat race for the 32nd Congressional District, becoming the first out LGBTQ person elected to Congress from the state. Johnson, a former trial attorney, told People Magazine that it's humbling to win in a state as historically conservative as Texas.

She stated that what Texans desire are individuals who are intelligent and considerate, who diligently labor, exhibit empathy, and effectively communicate problems while serving as a voice for the people.
