Sen. Chris Coons’ path to another Senate term from Delaware just got a lot clearer. The Democrat, in office since 2011, easily beat three challengers in Tuesday’s primary, including E. No-Trump Hansen, the Washington Post reports. The business executive told KHYY that he changed his name to show his commitment to curbing President Trump’s overreach. Hansen was the Republican nominee in the state’s 2024 Senate race, which he lost to Democratic Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester.
The Delaware votes were the final primaries of the 2026 cycle. On the Republican side, anesthesiologist and former state senator Mike Katz emerged from his own two-man contest, defeating former military officer John Shulli. Coons heads into November widely expected to hold the seat. In the race for Delaware’s sole House seat, Joseph Arminio won the Republican nomination, the AP reports. He will face Rep. Sarah McBride in November. She was unopposed in the Democratic primary.
