A slew of historic wins were recorded throughout the night, including the election of the first Muslim senator, the first openly gay senator and the first black female governor in the US.

Keisha Lance Bottom’s win was described as “historic” by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution – an online publication which produces a daily front page. The paper notes that the governor-elect has shattered “racial and gender glass ceilings” on a day the US elected “four Black governors”.

Highlighting the end of the Republican party’s “stranglehold on Texas politics”, the Dallas Morning News captured two of the night’s biggest wins under the headline “Wave of change”.

Senator-elect James Talarico and Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa shared the front page, after a night that saw the Democrats sweep to victory in deep red Texas.
