The wins were expected. Delaware hasn’t had a Republican governor in more than 30 years, a Republican Senator in more than 20 years and a Republican Representative in more than a decade. The last time a Republican presidential candidate won the state was in 1988, when former President George H.W. Bush was elected.

Despite Vice President Harris’ sweeping Delaware win, President-elect Trump benefited from lower turnout and broadened appeal compared to 2020.

While Delaware supported Democrats up and down the ballot Tuesday, voters split on their support of candidates.
