Love to see South Asian women shine! @ArunaMiller was born in India, and now she will be the first Asian American and the first immigrant elected Lieutenant Governor of Maryland.
She'll serve alongside Gov-elect @IAmWesMoore, who just made history as MD's first Black governor. pic.twitter.com/NXrUC0gLaG

One other thing…. there's going to be a lot of shit talked about Beto but not from me. He left it all on the field.
That's all I got to say about that.

For a guy who has been a Senator, Vice President and President, you've got to admit, @JoeBiden is probably the most consistently, repeatedly and unfairly underestimated political leader of our time.

As a Black woman, I am so proud of Val Demings, Stacey Abrams and Cherie Beasley. Each of these women ran a heck of a race. They are pace-setters and have opened the door for Black women to excel in future races.

Brooke Lierman, our first female comptroller.
Anthony Brown, our first black Attorney General.

Breaking:
GOP will NOT gain a full #NCGA supermajority. They'll fall 1 seat short in the House.
For Democrats, that means holding the party line and simply attending sessions — so they don't miss surprise votes — will become even more important. #ncpolhttps://t.co/o5QWOVhdMc

Illinois here
We have 17 members in Congress
As of last night, 14 are Democrats.
Yeah :)
MARYLAND DID THAT LAST NIGHT!
Black Governor
Asian Lt. Governor
Woman SOS
Black AG
SO glad that we finally got over the Black running Statewide hump that seemed to plague Democrats in Maryland. Never made any sense to me. Not in a state where 1 out of every 3 voters is Black.
No more money to Florida.
Dems need to go elswhere:
Georgia
North Carolina
Texas
And, if we are going to commit to ‘ throwing away’ money for the forseeable future…commit to investing in a Southern State with a large Black population with some community organizing. (Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina)
Good Morning, Everyone😊😊😊
