Delaware
Delaware, the first state, joined the Union in December 1787 and has participated in all 59 presidential elections. For 56 of those elections, the state has had three electoral votes – it had four during the 1810s. The fact that Delaware sided with the Republicans throughout most of the 20th century can be partially attributed to the presence of the DuPont Company and the Du Pont family and their effect on state politics. That influence waned toward the end of the century as Delaware’s businesses became more diversified.
Like many northeastern states, Delaware has voted Democratic in the last eight elections, with Joe Biden beating Donald Trump by 19% points in 2020. This margin was up from 2016, when Hillary Clinton won by about 11% but is nearly identical to 2012, when Biden was reelected as vice president.
