Delaware Holds Final 2026 Primary as Progressives Gain and Trump Sweeps Senate Endorsements

Summary
Delaware voters cast ballots Tuesday in the final primary of the 2026 cycle, with Sen. Chris Coons, Attorney General Kathy Jennings and Rep. Sarah McBride topping the statewide Democratic slate.
The close of the primary calendar caps a season in which left-wing Democrats expanded their reach, defeating establishment figures in House races and winning key August Senate primaries in Michigan, Minnesota and Florida.
That shift has sharpened pressure on moderates as many winning progressives ran on abolishing ICE, cutting military aid to Israel and backing Medicare for All.
Trump also exits the primary season with strong sway over Republicans: Fox News' tracker says he went undefeated in Senate endorsements and nearly perfect in House contests, despite five gubernatorial primary losses.
With 50 days until the general election, Delaware Republicans are trying to crack Democrats' long hold on statewide offices as both parties head into a more ideologically defined fall campaign.
