The Spin

Democratic narrative

In the face of an increase in anti-LGBTQ legislation across the country, McBride getting elected to Congress could send a message about inclusion and acceptance the US desperately needs. McBride is an inspiration and like many LGBTQ trailblazers before her, she looks primed to overcome the odds and make history.

Republican narrative

Time will tell if McBride stands for anything other than diversity during her campaign. If she doesn’t, she might find herself facing the same type of backlash many companies have received from the American public in response to being forced to diversify in line with woke ideology against their personal beliefs.

Narrative C

Aside from her triumphant story, McBride has long been viewed as a replacement for Rochester and a once-in-a-lifetime political talent. She has the skills and experience to represent everyone in her district and has multiple endorsements from renowned organizations and individuals across the US.
