🔻It is expected that Chris Pappas, the Democratic nominee, will win the race for a U.S. Senate seat from the state of New Hampshire.

Pappas will become the first openly gay man elected to the U.S. Senate when he is sworn in next January.

In 2013, Tammy Baldwin, a Wisconsin state senator, made history by being elected as the first openly gay woman in the Senate.
