No primaries were held for President or U.S. Senate. See the notes below.
President
Both party primaries - scheduled for April 2 - were cancelled as only one candidate would have been on the ballot. Under state law, no primary is held in that situation.
U.S. Senate
Democratic Sen. Tom Carper is retiring after four terms in office. Only one candidate qualified from each party. As such, the respective primaries were cancelled.
The state's At-Large Representative, Lisa Blunt Rochester will be the Democratic nominee. Businessman Eric Hansen will represent the Republicans.
Governor
Democratic Gov. John Carney is completing his second term. He is ineligible to run due to term limit laws.
The Democratic nominee will be heavily favored in November. There is a three-way competitive primary between Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long, New Castle County Executive Matt Meyer, and National Wildlife Federation president Collin O'Mara.
Carney has endorsed Hall-Long, who has come under fire for campaign finance irregularities. She also trails her two opponents in fundraising.
Lieutenant Governor
Incumbent Democrat Bethany Hall-Long is term-limited; she is running for governor.
There is no GOP primary as Former state Rep. Ruth Briggs King was the only qualifier.
Three credible candidates are seeking the Democratic nomination. There is no clear frontrunner, but whoever advances will be favored in November.
U.S. House
Three Democrats are looking to succeed Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, who is the party's nominee for U.S. Senate. The frontrunner is state Sen. Sarah McBride.
Assuming she advances, McBride will be heavily favored over the Republican nominee in November.
