AP Decision Notes: What to expect in Delaware’s state primary
Democrats and Republicans are choosing nominees in races for Congress, attorney general and treasurer, with about 30,800 ballots already cast, officials said.
- Delaware voters head to the polls tomorrow, Tuesday, for the final state primary of the 2026 cycle, selecting nominees for U.S. Senate, House, attorney general, and state treasurer.
- Participation is restricted to registered party members; as of Friday, about 30,800 ballots were already cast, including about 22,200 from Democrats and about 8,500 from Republicans.
- Democratic U.S. Sen. Chris Coons seeks a third full term against history professor Jeff Appelhans, naval architect Mary Louve, and former business executive Eric Hansen, running as E. No-Trump Hansen; Coons raised about $6.9 million versus about $1,500 for Appelhans.
- The state treasurer race features an open seat with Investment manager Ted Lauzen, business owner Mike Miller, and economist Michael Smith competing for the Democratic nomination; Democratic U.S. Rep. Sarah McBride runs unopposed.
- Delaware has shifted heavily Democratic since the 1990s, with Republicans unable to win the governorship since 1988 or a U.S. Senate seat since 1994; with 49 days until the midterm elections, Republicans attempt to break the Democratic hold on statewide offices.
