Election Day 2026 is rewriting the history books, with voters electing a series of firsts from state capitals to the U.S. Senate. Georgia's Keisha Lance Bottoms becomes the first Black woman elected governor in American history, while Michigan's Abdul El-Sayed becomes the first Muslim elected to the Senate and New Hampshire's Chris Pappas becomes the first openly gay man elected to the chamber. The milestones cross party lines. Republican Byron Donalds makes history in Florida, while Democrats Deb Haaland, Peggy Flanagan and Gina Hinojosa break barriers in their respective states. And the historic changes could extend to House leadership, with Hakeem Jeffries positioned to become the first black Speaker of the House.
