His victory on Tuesday extends Democrats' decades-long winning streak in gubernatorial contests.

Republicans last won the governor's office in 1988. Ramone, the GOP House Minority Leader, argued that Delawareans would be better served by restoring political balance to state government. In addition to the executive branch, Democrats also control both chambers of the General Assembly.

Democrat Sarah McBride wins Delaware US House seat, ABC News projects

Democrat state Sen. Sarah McBride is projected to become the first openly transgender person to serve in Congress, ABC News projects.

She ran against Republican businessman John Whalen III.

With significant advantages in party registration numbers and campaign contributions, McBride was the favorite in the House race.

McBride has established a national profile as an LGBTQ activist and raised more than $3.5 million in campaign contributions from around the country. She achieved national recognition at the 2016 Democratic National Convention as the first openly transgender person to address a major party convention in the United States.

After scoring an easy Democrat primary win in September, McBride said she was not running for Congress to make history, but instead "to make historic progress for Delawareans."

As a state senator, McBride has earned a reputation for working on healthcare issues, including successfully sponsoring legislation to create a statewide paid family and medical leave insurance program. She also sponsored legislation regarding Medicaid reimbursement rates for home healthcare services and expanded access to dental care for low-income Delawareans. Another bill she sponsored imposed a 3.58% tax on the net revenue of Delaware hospitals to leverage additional federal Medicaid funds. All of those bills became law.

Democrats have held Delaware's U.S. House seat since 2011. This year's race opened up last year after Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester said she would finish this term and run for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by fellow Democrat Tom Carper.

Democratic Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester won the U.S. Senate contest in Delaware on Tuesday, defeating Republican Eric Hansen, ABC News projects.

Rochester has served as Delaware's lone representative in the U.S. House since 2017.

She will now replace retiring Democrat Tom Carper in the Senate, having been handpicked by Carper as his successor.

Rochester is poised to become one of only a handful of Black women to serve in the Senate. Hansen, a businessman who ran a largely self-funded campaign, was making his first bid for public office.

Kamala Harris wins Delaware to gain 3 electoral votes, ABC News projects

Democrat Kamala Harris won Delaware's presidential contest Tuesday, easily defeating Republican Donald Trump, ABC News projects.

Harris' victory in solid-blue Delaware was a foregone conclusion, given the stranglehold Democrats have held on the state's three electoral votes for decades.

The last Republican presidential candidate to win in Delaware was George H.W. Bush in 1988.

That's also the last time Delaware voters elected a Republican governor. Delaware's congressional delegation for years has been composed entirely of Democrats, who also control both chambers of the state legislature.
