Democratic Rep. Sarah McBride of Delaware was not the first male to be elected to Congress. McBride was the first male attempting woman-face to be elected to Congress. 

McBride appeared on The Ezra Klein Show to dissect “why the left lost trans rights.” McBride’s given name is Tim McBride. He changed his name and appearance as a young man after announcing he identified as transgender. (RELATED: Democrats’ New Political Football Could Bench Their Top 2028 Contenders)

“Candidly, I think we’ve lost the art of persuasion,” he told Klein, about the Democrat Party. Democrats are nearly as bad at persuading the public to like them as McBride is at persuading the public he’s a woman. Just months ago, McBride was the subject of a dust-up between colleagues squabbling over which title better suited the man: “Mister” or “Madame.”
