Delaware 's Lisa Blunt Rochester and Maryland 's Angela Alsobrooks could make history-making Senate history.

Never in the Senate have two Black women served together at the same time.

Their arrival would double the number of Black women who have ever been elected to the Senate .

The Senate races, in particular, are heated, grueling and costly.

Unlike 2016 , when Hillary Clinton ran for president in a white suit symbolic of the suffragettes, the 2024 Senate candidates are positioning themselves more broadly in a way that may appeal to a wider electorate.

The challenges Black women face to get to this point in the campaign are steep, rooted in a two -party political system that has often been slow to support Black women candidates.
