Delaware’s 2026 elections: Key races and voting history

Federal races

Delaware voters will elect one of the state’s two U.S. senators to a six-year term on Nov. 3, 2026. The Senate field includes Democratic incumbent Chris Coons and Republican Michael Katz. Coons currently serves alongside Democratic Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester.

The state’s single U.S. House district will also be on the ballot. All U.S. House seats are contested every two years. Democratic Rep. Sarah McBride currently represents Delaware in the House.

Primary contests will decide which candidates advance as party nominees in the general election. The dates and full fields for those contests are not stated on NBC News’ Delaware election page.

State race and current officials

Delaware voters will also elect an attorney general in 2026. Democratic incumbent Kathy Jennings is running for the office.

The state’s current statewide officials include Democratic Gov. Matt Meyer, Democratic Lt. Gov. Kyle Evans Gay and Democratic Secretary of State Charuni Patibanda-Sanchez. These offices are listed as current officeholders, not as 2026 contests on the election page.

Delaware’s presidential voting history

Democratic presidential nominees carried Delaware in each of the past three presidential elections. In 2024, Kamala Harris received 56.5% of the state vote, while Donald Trump received 41.8%, a margin of 14.7 percentage points.

In 2020, the Democratic nominee received 58.8%, compared with 39.8% for the Republican nominee. In 2016, the Democratic nominee received 53.4%, while the Republican nominee received 41.9%.

Those results describe past presidential voting and do not determine the outcome of Delaware’s 2026 federal or state races.
