The November matchup is set for Delaware voters who will decide their state’s next governor.
New Castle County Executive Matt Meyer won the Democratic primary Tuesday, besting Delaware Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long and National Wildlife Federation CEO Collin O’Mara.
Meyer was the only one of the three candidates who had not had political experience in Dover, the state capital.

Ramone told Fox News Digital in July his goal was to flip the state red.
"Delaware has been controlled by one party for 32 years. And I am here to give Delaware a choice," Ramone said. "Balance brings discussion, and discussion brings vetting and vetting avoids unintended consequences."

Like Carney, both of Delaware's senators and its House representative are all Democrats.
