Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Del.) is the first out transgender member of Congress. Within days of her election this past November, she faced backlash from certain members of the Republican Party. Nevertheless, McBride has continued to find ways to forge ties across the aisle.<\/p>\n
In a conversation with POLITICO\u2019s Dasha Burns, Rep. McBride discusses her hope to bring \u201ca sense of kindness and grace\u201d to Congress despite the \u201creality TV show nature\u201d of today\u2019s politics. The two also discuss the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, how the Democratic Party can rebuild its coalition without \u201creinforcing right-wing framing\u201d over culture war issues and why her pursuit of bipartisan legislation is in part a direct response to President Trump.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we can’t figure out how to solve problems across our political divide,\u201d she tells Burns, \u201cthen I believe Trumpism only grows and worsens in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n
Plus, White House reporter Myah Ward on Trump\u2019s trip to Scotland and what it revealed about the working relationship between the president and European leaders.<\/p>\n
