Gov. John Carney, U.S. Sen. Chris Coons, and the state’s lone member of Congress, Lisa Blunt Rochester sailed to easy wins on Tuesday night. 

Carney managed to draw a slightly higher percentage of votes than Biden as Delawareans seemed to endorse his sometimes controversial decisions in closing down and reopening businesses and organizations in the state. He faced off against Julianne Murray, a leader in the effort to end Carney’s coronavirus emergency orders.

It will be Carney’s last term in a state that limits governors to two terms. 

Coons scored a landslide victory over Republican Lauren Witzke, whose candidacy drew attention for statements appearing to support the Proud Boys group and celebrating the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

Rochester piled up a comparable martin in defeating Lee Murphy, who ran a more mainstream campaign than Witzke.

Former Vice President Joe Biden picked up the state’s three electoral votes as the race with President Donald Trump remained tight into Wednesday.

Limited polling has shown Democrats to be well ahead in Delaware, with the party holding an advantage in voter registration.

Sarah McBride won a state  Senate race that will make her the nation’s first transgender state senator.

In the 26th District, Madinah Wilson-Anton, a Democrat, became the first Muslim to be elected to the Delaware House.

Democrats picked up two Senate seats with moderate Republicans Cathy Cloutier and Anthony Delcollo apparently losing to Democratic opponents. Many legislators in both parties ran unopposed.

A bright spot for Republicans was Sussex County. All Republicans and incumbents won the majority of votes in the state’s fastest-growing county. However, Kent County.

However, Kent County, which Trump carried in 2016 moved back into the Democratic column.

Below are the final  unofficial results:
