The six-candidate Delaware gubernatorial race narrowed to New Castle County Executive Matt Meyer, a Democrat, and Republican Mike Ramone after Tuesday’s primary, setting up a competitive race in which Democrats are favored to win.

The Associated Press called the race for Meyer at 9:02 p.m., a little over an hour after the polls closed. He defeated two Democratic challengers with 48.4% of the vote, with his closest challenger, Democratic Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long, receiving 36.3%.
