CBS News • • nation
Key Points:
- Delaware voters will hold primaries on Tuesday to select nominees for U.S. Senate, House, and local races, marking the final primaries of the 2026 midterm cycle, with state law scheduling the primary in the third week of September this year.
- Incumbent Democratic Senator Chris Coons is heavily favored to win renomination and the general election, facing minimal opposition and significantly out-fundraising his primary challengers; Delaware has not elected a Republican senator since 1966.
- Incumbent Democratic U.S. Representative Sarah McBride, the first transgender member of Congress, faces no primary opposition and is preparing for a general election contest against three Republican candidates, including previous opponents who have switched parties.
- McBride has been a focal point of GOP criticism and legislative actions targeting transgender rights, but she has stated her intention to comply with House rules and avoid becoming a political pawn amid ongoing partisan tensions.
