Chris Coons wins Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Delaware
Coons won the Democratic nomination as Delaware voters chose party candidates for the November general election.
On the day of the primary, Delaware voters selected the 16-year incumbent as the Democratic nominee for the Senate. The Delaware Department of Elections reported the result.
Delaware utilizes a closed primary system, restricting participation to registered party members. The Democratic contest featured a four-candidate field, with voters deciding between individuals seeking the party's nomination.
Republicans also held primaries to finalize candidates for offices including Delaware's sole seat in the House. Three Republicans competed for the party's nomination in that contest.
The primary finalized the candidate field for high-stakes positions ahead of the general election. Voters will now determine party control across multiple state and federal offices, including the Senate.
Delaware Department of Elections officials tallied ballots immediately after polls closed at 8 p.m. Voters were directed to monitor local media, including FOX, for official results and live counts.
