House Election

State significance

Delaware is hosting a relatively high-profile U.S. House race this cycle. Democratic incumbent Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester will face off against Republican challenger Lee Murphy and Libertarian candidate Cody McNutt in her reelection bid. Murphy and Blunt Rochester have clashed over the economy, abortion access and the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Blunt Rochester was elected to Delaware's lone House seat in 2016 and in the process became the state's first Black representative in Congress. She's also the first woman to represent Delaware on Capitol Hill.

Biden held a virtual reception in support of Blunt Rochester in October, praising her as someone who is "always looking for solutions to bridge the divides." Biden won Delaware by almost 20 points.

The other three statewide races are those for attorney general, treasurer and auditor. All 22 seats in the Delaware state Senate are up for election as well as all 41 seats in the Delaware House of Representatives. The General Assembly is currently controlled by Democrats.

Counties are colored red or blue when the percent of expected vote reporting reaches a set threshold. This threshold varies by state and is based on patterns of past vote reporting and expectations about how the vote will report this year.
