Delaware Election Results

Joseph R. Biden Jr. has won his home state of Delaware, where Democrats control the governorship, the legislature and the congressional delegation. The only county that President Trump won in 2016 was watched closely: Kent County, the least populous of Delaware’s three counties, became one of 206 "pivot counties" nationwide when it flipped to Mr. Trump after voting for President Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. Mr. Trump won the county by about five percentage points in 2016 Read more

Lisa Rochester, a Democrat, won re-election in Delaware’s 1st Congressional District. Senator Chris Coons, a moderate Democrat and a member of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, also was re-elected. He faced Lauren Witzke, a Republican who has been linked with the QAnon conspiracy theory.

Gov. John Carney, a Democrat who has campaigned on his first-term record of building up a budget surplus, won re-election in his race against Julianne Murray, a lawyer who says that small businesses have been unfairly prevented from reopening during the pandemic. Mr. Carney focused on preserving services during the coronavirus pandemic and renewing infrastructure. — JON HURDLE Read less
