Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris, who became the Democratic nominee after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race in July.

“To each and every Marylander, I say this. I will make your care my concern. Your hope, my focus. And your dreams, my work in the days and years to come,” she said in a speech after the race was called on election night.

Together with Alsobrooks, it will also be the first time in US history that two Black women have served in the Senate at the same time.

“My parents taught me to love America,” Kim said in his victory speech. “I revere this country.”
