Live Election Results: Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware cast votes for President, Senate, and more

Harris maintained democratic strongholds in New Jersey and Delaware, but Pennsylvania was seen as the state that could determine the outcome of the election.

Harris and Trump zeroed in on Pennsylvania throughout their campaigns, even making late-minute stops in the Commonwealth on their last day of campaigning.

A hotly contested U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania is still unfolding between democrat incumbent Bob Casey and republican challenger David McCormick.

Elsewhere in our area, history was made in Delaware as Lisa Blunt Rochesters became the state's first Black female senator, and Sarah McBride will become the first openly transgender woman to serve in congress.

FOX News projected Trump had won the hotly contested race for the crucial swing state, then reported he would win the presidency a short time later.

Trump, 78, recaptured the swing state he lost to President Joe Biden in the last election and won over Hillary Clinton in 2016.

His victory added 19 electoral college votes to his total, which at the time pushed him to within 3 votes needed to reach the 270 threshold.

Trump's campaign in Pennsylvania turned a corner when the former president narrowly dodged an assassin's bullet while he addressed supporters gathered in Butler.

A bloodied Trump raised his fist after being surrounded by Secret Service members and mouthed ‘Fight! Fight!’ to the crowd in a now-infamous moment in U.S. history.

Trump and Harris met for a presidential debate for the first and only time in Philadelphia. Trump had previously debated President Joe Biden before he dropped out.

With Election Day nearing, Trump worked behind the counter at a Bucks County McDonald's as a jab at Harris, who claimed she used to work for the fast food chain.

Republicans scored another win nearly 48 hours after polls closed as David McCormick (R) defeated longtime Sen. Bob Casey in a tight race.

The race was billed as the toughest challenge that Casey has faced in his four re-election bids, and entered Thursday with McCormick leading by less than a point.

Attorney General, Auditor General, Treasurer, State Senate, State House

Voters also cast their ballots Tuesday to decide statewide races for Attorney General, Auditor General and Treasurer. More than a dozen U.S. House races are unfolding across the state, and even more candidates are vying for seats in the state’s Senate and House of Representatives. 

U.S. House races were called by the Associated Press for representatives Brandan Boyle, Dwight Evans, Mary Gay Scanlon, and Madeleine Dean. 

New Jersey

President, U.S. Senate, U.S. House 

Democratic U.S. Rep. Andy Kim was elected Tuesday to the U.S. Senate, defeating Republican businessman Curtis Bashaw for the seat that opened when Bob Menendez resigned this year after his federal conviction on bribery charges.

Kim, a three-term congressman from central New Jersey, becomes the first Korean-American in the Senate. In a recent interview, he said that accomplishment would validate his parents’ decision 50 years ago to immigrate to the United States. He was the state’s first Asian-American to be elected to Congress when he defeated a Republican incumbent in 2018.

A former Obama administration national security aide, Kim was a Rhodes Scholar and has a Ph.D. from Oxford. He’s presented himself as an unassuming, hard-working official and gained national attention in 2021 when he was spotted cleaning up the U.S. Capitol after the Jan. 6 insurrection, bagging trash.

Kim's victory keeps a reliably Democratic seat under his party’s control. He is also expected to take up the seat sooner than January because of Menendez’s resignation. Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy has said that George Helmy, who is serving the remainder of Menendez’s term, will step down and the winner of Tuesday’s election would be appointed.

Delaware

President, U.S. Senate, U.S. House 

Governor, State Senate, State House 

U.S. Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester became the first woman and first Black person to represent Delaware in the Senate. Only three other Black women have served in the Senate, two of them elected and one who was appointed.

Rochester was considered a virtual shoo-in for the Senate against businessman Hansen, a political newcomer. Democrats hold a significant voter registration advantage over Republicans in solid-blue Delaware, which last sent a Republican to Washington in 2008.

Sarah McBride won Delaware's open U.S. House seat and became the first openly transgender woman to serve in congress. 

McBride easily defeated Republican John Whalen III on Tuesday in the race for Delaware’s lone House seat. Whalen is a retired construction company owner and former state trooper who ran a shoestring campaign in his first bid for public office.

Matt Meyer, a former school math teacher and small business owner, has won the governor's race in Delaware. 

Meyer, who promised voters to fix the state's "broken and underfunded education system," beat Delaware House minority leader Michael Ramone. 

The governor's office was up for grabs in Delaware after democrat John Carney decided not to run for re-election and launched his campaign for Mayor of Wilmington.

Voters also selected candidates from nine of the state's senate districts, and Delaware House of Representatives candidates from 40 legislative districts.
