Live Results: Delaware 2024 election results for President, House and Senate

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.

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.

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.

The Delaware River Bridge will be replaced following a $600 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation, revitalizing a main connector between Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and Burlington County, New Jersey.

According to a joint release from U.S. Pennsylvania Senators John Fetterman, D, and Dave McCormick, R, the funds will “advance” the PA Turnpike/I-95 Interchange Program. The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission said the program is designed to reduce congestion on County roadways and improve traffic flow in the Philadelphia region.
