2026 Delaware Senate Forecast
Last Updated: Friday, February 6, 2025, 11:08 AM ET
Race Note:
Incumbent Democratic Sen. Chris Coons, first elected in 2010 and re-elected in 2020 with 59% of the vote, is up for re-election in 2026. Delaware has voted Democratic in every presidential election since 1988 and remains a solidly blue state. In the 2024 presidential election, Kamala Harris carried Delaware by nearly 15 points, a smaller margin than former President Joe Biden’s 19-point home-state victory in 2020 but consistent with her relative underperformance in other deep-blue states. The state’s population is concentrated in the urbanized north around Wilmington, while its rural southern region retains some Southern cultural and political influences.
