The upcoming November election will determine Delaware's next governor.

On Tuesday, Delaware Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long and National Wildlife Federation CEO Collin O'Mara were defeated by Matt Meyer in the Democrat primary for New Castle County Executive.

In Dover, the state capital, Meyer was the only candidate among the three who lacked political experience.

On the Republican side, Mike Ramone won a three-way primary against a former New York City police officer and another GOP hopeful.

He aims to be viewed as a moderate in a blue state, stating, "I am not a deep blue nor a scarlet red."

A Republican has little chance of winning a statewide office in Delaware, where President Biden resided and served as senator from 1973 to 2009.

Since January 1993, Delaware has not had a Republican governor, and the number of registered Democrat voters exceeds that of Republicans.

In July, Planet Chronicle Digital reported that Ramone's objective was to turn the state red.

"Delaware has been under the control of one party for 32 years. However, I am here to offer Delaware an alternative," Ramone stated. "By fostering debate, we can ensure that all perspectives are considered and potential consequences are thoroughly examined."

Gov. John Carney cannot seek re-election as he has already served two terms.

He was previously Delaware's lieutenant governor and the only House of Representatives member from the state.

Hall-Long's momentum was hindered by allegations of campaign finance impropriety, despite Carney's endorsement of her as his successor.

All three Democrats from Delaware, including its senators and House representative, are from the same party.
