In a recent candidate forum in Delaware, Republican nominee Joseph Arminio was removed after repeatedly misgendering Rep. Sarah McBride, the first openly trans member of Congress. This incident has sparked significant backlash within the party, with some members pressuring Arminio to withdraw from the race following his transphobic comments. Despite the controversy, Arminio has secured his position as the Republican nominee for the U.S. House and is set to challenge McBride, who advanced unopposed in her Democratic primary. The Republican Party is now wrestling with its future as it navigates the implications of this situation.
