- U.S. Senate race: Incumbent U.S. Sen. Chris Coons fought off multiple challengers. He’ll face Republican Dr. Mike Katz in the November general election.
- If elected, Katz would be the first Republican to hold the seat in 25 years.
- U.S. House race: Joseph Arminio won the GOP primary and will face incumbent Rep. Sarah McBride for Delaware’s lone U.S. House seat in November.
- Treasurer race: Democrat Ted Lauzen bested two challengers and will face Republican candidate Michael Ramone in the general election.
- Incumbent ousted: New Castle County’s six-term recorder of deeds was defeated in his Delaware primary.
