As primary day in Delaware comes to a close, the General Election ballot has started to take shape, with some races proving to be too close to call. The results of the primaries will play a crucial role in determining which candidates will appear on the ballot in November.
One of the key races that remains undecided is the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate, with incumbent Senator Tom Carper facing a strong challenge from progressive activist and political newcomer Jessica Scarane. The race has been closely watched as Carper, a longtime fixture in Delaware politics, faces criticism from progressives for his moderate positions.
In the U.S. House race, Republican Lee Murphy won his party’s nomination and will face Democratic incumbent Lisa Blunt Rochester in the general election. Meanwhile, in the state’s at-large U.S. House seat, Democrat Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester is hoping to fend off a challenge from Republican Julia Phillips.
In the State Senate, the race for the 9th district has proven to be a tight contest between incumbent Jack Walsh and challenger Darius Brown, with results too close to call. Additionally, in the State House, Democrat Rep. John Viola is facing a tough challenge from James DeMartino in the 26th district.
Overall, the results of the Delaware primary day have set the stage for what is sure to be an exciting and competitive general election in November. With several key races still up in the air, both parties are gearing up for a fight to secure their candidates’ spots on the ballot. Voters will have to wait patiently as the final tallies come in and the dust settles on what promises to be a closely-watched election season in the state.
