The first-generation Asian American won 63 percent of votes against a candidate whose Facebook campaign page was removed due to racist, homophobic and antisemitic posts.

“This campaign, this movement that we built really hinged on visibility,” said 27-year-old Mauree Turner.

Torres tweeted: “With @MondaireJones and I, LGBTQ people of color will have a seat at one of the most powerful tables: the United States Congress.”

At a mid-day get-out-the-early-vote march in Graham, North Carolina, police attacked about 200 marchers—including elders and children—and arrested eight, according to reports.

Republicans opposed an extension for the battleground state, arguing that it violates federal law.
