Minorities left their mark on the Democrats' victory in the USA

The midterm elections held in the USA witnessed firsts won by candidates from minority groups across the country. The results were recorded as a clear voter objection to President Donald Trump's second term.

Bill Shiebler, Chief Strategy Officer of the non-governmental organization State Voices, told the AFP agency that this picture means "a tremendous rejection of hatred and division".

Shiebler stated that voters increasingly see themselves in their leaders and said:

“I think this is not just an innovation, but part of making a multiracial democracy work as intended.”

In the southern state of Georgia, Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms won the governor's race, becoming the first black woman elected to this office in any US state.

Bottoms, a former Atlanta Mayor, defeated billionaire healthcare executive Rick Jackson in the race.

With this result, the state governor's office passed to the Democrats again after more than 20 years of Republican Party control.

Democrat Chris Pappas, who has been a member of the US House of Representatives in New Hampshire since 2019, won the Senate race.

With this result, Pappas became the first gay male parliamentarian who does not hide his sexual identity to serve in the US Senate.

In his message published on his official website, Pappas stated, "No one should be discriminated against because of who they are or who they love."
