Contenders for Delaware’s lone U.S. House seat vie for party nominations
What questions do you have about the 2024 elections? What major issues do you want candidates to address? Let us know.
Candidates for the First State’s lone Congressional seat gave their views on foreign and domestic policy at a forum in downtown Wilmington Tuesday.
State Sen. Sarah McBride, businessman Earl Cooper and financier Elias Weir are vying for the Democratic nomination in the September 10 primary. Small businesswoman and veteran Donyale Hall and John J. Whalen III are competing for the Republican nomination. The seat is being vacated by Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester, who is campaigning to replace Sen. Tom Carper, who is not running for re-election.
All the candidates except Whalen participated in the debate, which discussed issues including abortion, immigration, the Gaza war and the U.S. relationship with Russia and China.
The contenders all agreed with supporting Israel in its war in Gaza. McBride said the loss of life was heartbreaking.
“That’s one of the reasons why I’ve been so supportive of the U.S. government’s led efforts to negotiate a long-term cease-fire that secures the release of the hostages and builds a bridge toward a lasting peace and a sustainable peace,” she said. “We have to be clear that while that deal is currently on the table, Israel has accepted a version of that deal. Hamas has not accepted that version of the deal.”
Hall highlighted her and her family’s decades of military experience in her answer.
“From that perspective, my family has a lot of skin in the game. I think I bring a credible voice to anything that we would talk about in foreign policy, and I believe in peace through strength,” she said. “For that reason, we have a long-standing ally through Israel that I support us continuing, making sure that we keep that relationship strong for the sake of world peace.”
Cooper said that he was in favor of a reset with Russia and China, but he also used his time during this question to talk about the difference between minimum wage and prevailing wage, which is paid to some workers in certain industries such as construction.
“Fifty dollars an hour can really change a person’s life,” he said. “I have individuals that work for me and they are able to sustain their family, and these are the things that I want to be able to speak on.”
Hall said she did not support writing a “blank check” to Ukraine, which was invaded by Russia in 2022. According to the U.S. State Department, the Biden administration has provided $55.5 billion in military assistance since February 2022.
Weir agreed that the U.S. should keep a hawkish approach toward China and Russia.
“China wants to be a superpower. Russia wants to be a superpower,” he said. “If these two, they want to align, and it’s a critical issue that the United States needs to address.”
There was sharp disagreement on the issue of abortion, with McBride saying she was proud of her role in making Delaware a sanctuary state as a legislator. She said she would fight any attempts to ban the procedure federally if elected.
“We are not safe from MAGA extremists who want to implement their Texas and Alabama agenda at the federal level,” McBride said. “Look, the far right wing told us that they weren’t going to overturn Roe. They overturned Roe. Now those same people are telling us that they won’t institute a nationwide abortion ban. They will. We will not be fooled.”
Cooper also said he supported leaving the decision up to women, while Hall and Weir said they opposed abortion.
“It’s a terrible thing, and I think that the Supreme Court is exactly correct, and they hit the point just right in regards to Roe versus Wade,” Weir said.

The Delaware State Police are investigating a fatal crash that occurred last night in Wilmington that left one man dead.
On December 24, 2024, at approximately 7:28 p.m., a blue 2009 Hyundai Elantra was traveling northbound on Thompson Bridge Road, north of Guyencourt Road. For reasons under investigation, the Hyundai traveled into the southbound lane of Thompson Bridge Road, and into the path of a black 2015 Mazda 6 that was traveling southbound. As a result, the front of the Hyundai struck the front of the Mazda in the southbound lane of Thompson Bridge Road. After the initial impact, the Mazda traveled in a northeast direction and came to a stop near a tree line. The Hyundai remained in the roadway due to being disabled and was subsequently struck by a white 2018 Kia Sportage traveling southbound on Thompson Bridge Road.
The preliminary investigation revealed the two occupants of the Hyundai were outside of the vehicle after the initial collision, and one of the occupants was struck by the Kia.
The driver of the Hyundai has not been determined at this time. The Hyundai was occupied by a 22-year-old man from Wilmington, Delaware, and an unidentified man. The 22-year-old man was taken to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His name is being withheld until his family and relatives are notified. The second occupant of the Hyundai was taken to an area hospital by EMS, where he was admitted for critical injuries.
The driver of the Mazda, a 45-year-old man from West Chester, Pennsylvania, was not injured.
The driver of the Kia, a 31-year-old woman from Lincoln University, Pennsylvania, was taken to an area hospital by EMS for non-life-threatening injuries.
The roadway was closed for approximately 5.5 hours while the scene was investigated and cleared.
The Delaware State Police Troop 2 Collision Reconstruction Unit continues to investigate this incident. Troopers are asking anyone who witnessed this collision to please contact Master Corporal R. Kunicki by calling 302-365-8417. Information may also be provided by sending a private Facebook message to the Delaware State Police or contacting Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-847-3333.
