Complete list of winners and losers in Delaware’s general election
See who voters chose in the contests for Congress, governor and other statewide and local offices.
Delaware Democrats continued their stranglehold on elective politics Tuesday with victories in all five statewide races up for grabs, and increased their dominance in the General Assembly.
Democrats still hold all nine statewide elective offices — as they have since 2018 — buoyed this cycle with runaway victories in the races for open seats in the U.S. Senate, U.S. Representative, governor, lieutenant governor and for insurance commissioner, which two-term incumbent Trinidad Navarro also won by a landslide.
In the state House of Representatives, where all seats and two-year terms were on the ballot, Democrats increased their margin by one to 27-14. In the state Senate, where 10 seats and their four-year terms were up for grabs, Democrats kept their 15-6 advantage.
In the race to succeed hometown President Joe Biden, Delaware voters picked Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris over Republican former President Donald Trump. Harris, who won 56% to 42% for Trump, will be awarded the state’s three electoral votes.
Democrats outnumber Republicans by a nearly two-to-one margin in Delaware.
