Delaware in 2026: zero gubernatorial races, one Senate race featuring a safely re-elected incumbent, and one at-large House seat held by the first openly transgender member of Congress. The political math is straightforward. Joe Biden's home state has not elected a Republican to a statewide office in 16 years. Chris Coons is seeking his third full Senate term (he's been there since 2010 when he won the special election to fill Joe Biden's seat). Sarah McBride holds the at-large House seat. Gov. Matt Meyer took office in January 2025 after winning 2024. Everything is Democratic. Everything is safe. The interesting Delaware story for 2026 isn't who wins — it's how Delaware Democrats are positioning for what comes after Coons, Carper's legacy seat (now held by Lisa Blunt Rochester), and the generational handoff that's been underway since Tom Carper retired in 2024.

Delaware governor betting odds

Matt Meyer won't face Delaware voters until 2028. The former New Castle County executive won the 2024 Delaware gubernatorial primary against Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long (which became contested after Hall-Long's running mate withdrew amid campaign finance issues), then won the general election by 20 points over Republican Mike Ramone. His term runs through January 2029.

The next Delaware gubernatorial election is November 2028. Meyer will be eligible for a second term. Delaware Democrats have held the governorship since John Carney won in 2016 (after Jack Markell's two terms 2009-2017).

Delaware presidential election betting odds

Delaware's smallest Democratic presidential margin since 1988 came in 2024, when Harris won by 14 — narrower than Biden's 19-point home-state win four years earlier. The state has voted Democratic in every presidential election since 1992.

Cook PVI rates Delaware D+7. The 3 electoral votes are safe Democratic for 2028. Delaware is unlikely to be politically significant in 2028 presidential primaries (it lost the early primary status it had during the Biden era).

Delaware senate betting odds

Chris Coons inherited the Delaware Senate seat in 2010 from then-Vice-President Joe Biden and has held it ever since. He won the special election to fill Biden's vacated seat (defeating Republican Christine O'Donnell in the race that produced the infamous "I'm not a witch" campaign ad), and is now seeking a third full term. He chairs the Senate Ethics Committee and is a senior member of the Foreign Relations and Appropriations Committees.

Republican primary: Canceled — only one Republican filed (Eric Hansen).

Democratic primary: Minor opposition only.

Coons is safe. Delaware has not elected a Republican to the U.S. Senate since William Roth's 1994 re-election (Joe Biden defeated Roth in 2000). The state's federal delegation has been entirely Democratic since 2010.

Junior senator Lisa Blunt Rochester — the first African American and first woman senator from Delaware — won the 2024 race to succeed Tom Carper and is next up in 2030.

Cook rates Solid Democratic.

Delaware house betting odds

Sarah McBride became the first openly transgender member of Congress when she won Delaware's at-large seat in 2024. She succeeded Blunt Rochester after Blunt Rochester moved to the Senate. McBride was previously a state senator and the national press secretary for the Human Rights Campaign.

McBride is running for re-election to a second term. The Republican challenger has not been finalized as of mid-May 2026. Independent candidates Kellie Keenan and C.D. Reynolds are on the ballot. The general election is Solid Democratic — Delaware's at-large seat has been held by Democrats continuously since 2011.

No mid-decade redistricting (Delaware has only one at-large seat). Primary September 15, 2026.
