RACE ANALYSIS
The Bottom Line
Updated: Aug 30, 2019
DE-AL: Lisa Blunt Rochester (D) - Entire State
Solid Democratic. With a boost from EMILY's List, Blunt Rochester became the first woman and first African-American elected to Congress from Delaware in 2016. She won by 29 points in 2018, more than doubling her 2016 margin, and could conceivably run for Senate if Sen. Tom Carper, currently 72, retires in 2024.
