US midterm voters elected the first Black female governor and the first Muslim to the Senate, among a wave of barrier-breaking wins. Keisha Lance Bottoms won Georgia's governorship, Abdul El-Sayed took Michigan's Senate seat, and Xavier Becerra became California's first elected Latino governor. Other firsts included Gina Hinojosa as Texas's first Latina governor and Chris Pappas as the Senate's first openly gay man.
