DemocratDE · Senator

In the 2024 Senate race for DE Senate seat, Lisa Blunt Rochester (D) won with 56.6% of the vote, defeating Eric Hansen (R) who received 39.5%. A third candidate also appeared on the ballot. Lisa Blunt Rochester's 17.1-point advantage over the runner-up confirmed a comfortable win.
This was an open-seat race with no incumbent running — Christopher A. Coons (D) previously held the seat. Open seats typically attract stronger candidates and heavier spending from both parties. The 2024 presidential election drove higher voter turnout, which can help or hurt down-ballot candidates depending on the top of the ticket.
