Del. elected officials react to President Biden dropping bid for second term
Coons said he supports Kamala Harris to head the top of the ticket. That’s something U.S. House candidate Sarah McBride also supports. In a statement, McBride, who would be the first transgender member of Congress if elected, said she endorses Harris for president.
“Vice President Harris is the leader for this moment,” she said in a statement on social media. “No one is better positioned to build on the progress of the Biden/Harris Administration, to prosecute the case against Donald Trump, and to energize our party as we approach just 100 days until the General Election. I was with the Vice President yesterday and saw the enthusiasm she fosters among my fellow Democrats.”
Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester, who is campaigning to replace U.S. Sen. Tom Carper, who is not running for reelection, released a statement recalling her relationship with the “comforter-in-chief.”
“Our families have always been there for each other in solidarity, in celebration, and in tragedy. When my husband unexpectedly passed, when my sister suffered a stroke, when Dad died, the president was always one of the first to call and express his condolences.”
Carper said in a statement it has been his privilege to serve the people of Delaware and America with Joe Biden for 50 years.
“From the day he took office, he has consistently said that in the end, his final decision on running for re-election would be based on what’s best for America,” he said in an emailed statement. “His decision today meets that standard, and I am immensely proud of him for that.
Gov. John Carney, who worked for Sen. Biden from 1986–1989, said on social media Delaware is proud of Biden and he will do what it takes to help elect Harris in November.

What is black ice?
If you are driving, you’ll need to watch out for black ice.
According to The Weather Channel, black ice is a thin layer of ice that forms on roads and is difficult to see. It’s generally found on bridges, overpasses and spots on the road shaded by trees or other objects.
If roadways are wet from rain, snow or fog and temperatures drop below 32 degrees, black ice can form on roadways.
If you hit black ice, you should do the following:
- Keep your steering wheel straight.
- Do not brake
- Take your foot off the accelerator to reduce speed
Ryan Day takes ‘responsibility for not getting everyone ready’ in OSU loss
Ohio State’s saw an early exit in the CFP after an extended break from play.
An Ohio State alumnus, a former Cincinnati Bengals player, a Super Bowl champ and an insurance agent walk into a room … but there’s no punchline because they’re all the same person.
Tito Paul is well-known for his gridiron past, which includes playing for Ohio State, where he was selected in the fifth round of the NFL draft in 1995, and winning Super Bowl XXXIII with the Denver Broncos in 1999.
But some folks may not be aware that he’s also a superstar in Delaware County, where his State Farm agency receives consistently high reviews.
Football fans will have the chance to meet Paul at Game On, a fundraiser for the Delaware County Historical Society (DCHS) on Jan. 14 at the Meeker House and The Barn at Stratford, 2690 Stratford Road, Delaware. Kickoff is at 6 p.m.
The event will begin with a meet-and-greet from 6:15-7 p.m. in the Meeker House before moving to The Barn for the rest of the evening. A pizza party and soft drinks are included in the admission price, and beer will be available for purchase.
Paul will be joined by friends who also played for Ohio State, the NFL or both for an evening of football stories, NFL experiences and personal accounts of what it means to play in and win a Super Bowl. A Q&A period will follow the discussion.
In addition to Paul, guests will include:
- Ty Howard: Ohio State, Arizona Cardinals, Cincinnati Bengals, Tennessee Titans
- Michael Wiley: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Dee Miller: Ohio State, Green Bay Packers
- Mike “Buster” Tillman: Ohio State
Adult tickets for Game On cost $50 for the full event or $35 for the pizza party only. Tickets for ages 10-18 cost $15. Members of the DCHS pay $45 for the full event or $30 for the pizza party only. Tickets are available at bit.ly/3N4frsg.
In the event of a Level 2 or Level 3 snow emergency, the event will be canceled, with a rescheduled date to be determined.
