Senator Chris Coons, a Democrat from Delaware, won the Democratic primary on September 15, 2026, defeating a small field of challengers, including E. No-Trump Hansen. Coons is seeking a third term in the Senate and is expected to face either Mike Katz or John Shulli in the general election in November. Hansen, a former business executive who changed his name from Eric Hansen, campaigned on a platform aimed at limiting presidential power, citing concerns over former President Donald Trump's influence. Hansen stated that his name change reflects his commitment to opposing Trump. He officially began campaigning under his new name in July 2026. Coons, who has served in the Senate since replacing Joe Biden, has not faced a Republican challenger in the Senate since 1966, when J. Caleb Boggs lost re-election to Biden. Coons has maintained a strong position in Delaware's political landscape, which has leaned Democratic for decades.
