PHILADELPHIA – The polls have officially closed in Delaware after voters cast their ballots for president and several key races across the state, including possibly historic outcomes for both the U.S. Senate and U.S. House.

President: Kamala Harris (D) vs. Donald Trump (R)

At the top of the ballot, Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, Republican former President Donald Trump and three third-party candidates will compete for the state’s three electoral votes in the race to replace Democratic President Joe Biden, who served 36 years representing Delaware in the U.S. Senate.

Delaware is considered a democratic stronghold and many experts and polls expect it will stay that way for the presidency in 2024. The First State last elected George H.W. Bush in the 1988 election, and has since remained blue through eight presidential election cycles. 

U.S. Senate: Lisa Blunt Rochester (D) vs. Eric Hansen (R)

Democratic U.S. Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester is running against Republican Eric Hansen in the race to replace U.S. Sen. Tom Caper, who is not seeking reelection. 

Blunt Rochester became Delaware’s first Black female Senator and the third Black woman ever elected to the U.S. Senate, and the first since Harris became Vice President.

Blunt Rochester held the state’s sole U.S. House seat since 2017 and was the first African American and the first woman to represent Delaware in Congress. 

U.S. House: Sarah McBride (D) vs. John Whalen III (R)

Democratic state Sen. Sarah McBride and John Whalen III ran to replace Blunt Rochester in the U.S. House.

A McBride win would make her the first transgender federal elected official and the youngest Delaware has sent to Washington since Biden won a Senate seat in 1972.

Voters in Delaware will pick a new governor after Democrat John Carney decided not to run for re-election and launched his campaign for Mayor of Wilmington.

The blue-leaning state will pick between Matt Meyer (D) and Michael Ramone (R) to be the next governor. Meyer, a former school math teacher and small business owner, is focused on fixing Delaware’s “broken and underfunded education system.” Ramone, the Delaware House minority leader, has vowed to be a “governor for all” and fill his cabinet with “varying viewpoints” that will focus on improving education, business and public safety.

Voters also selected candidates from nine of the state’s senate districts, and Delaware House of Representatives candidates from 40 legislative districts.

Ramone has argued that Delawareans would be better served by restoring political balance to state government. Known for his willingness to work across party lines, he has won reelection several times in a district where Democrats heavily outnumber Republicans. His reputation for bipartisanship could help him appeal to moderate Democrats and unaffiliated voters, but he faces an uphill battle in solid-blue Delaware, where voter registration numbers favor Democrats.

Both Meyer and Ramone focused heavily on education during the gubernatorial campaign. Meyer, a former middle school math teacher, says his priorities include increased funding for public schools, particularly for low-income students, students with disabilities and English language learners. He also has called for universal prekindergarten and higher salaries for public school teachers.

Ramone supports performance-based incentives for Delaware teachers, expanded access to voucher programs and more money flowing to classrooms instead of school administration.

Ramone, who was elected to the state House in 2008, became the GOP gubernatorial nominee after winning 72% of the vote in a three-way GOP primary.

Meyer advanced to the general election contest against Ramone after defeating Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long and former state Environmental Secretary Collin O’Mara in a Democratic primary. Meyer, who took 47% of the vote, led all candidates in fundraising, but he also was helped by a scandal involving Hall-Long’s campaign finances and reports about her office staff being used for non-government work.

Outgoing Democratic Gov. John Carney, who is prohibited by law from seeking a third term, appeared poised to become mayor of Wilmington, Delaware’s largest city, after winning a September Democratic primary.

Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday.
