Kent County is home to the state capitol of Dover, and sits in the center of the state. Harris carried the county by 2 points, which is suggestive of it gradually becoming less competitive (as it was previously a good bellwether county). The Dover and Smyrna areas delivered Harris most of her margins, whereas Trump pulled his from the rural communities of Harrington and Kenton to the east of Dover, as well as suburbs to the city's south. Harris's performance becomes more impressive in the context of Biden narrowly carrying it, while having a home-state boost
Sussex County is famous for Rehoboth Beach, and Joe Biden's home in the area. Trump carried the county by 11 points, dominating the more inland portions of the county. Harris did best in and around Rehoboth Beach, and actually outperformed Biden's margins here from his 2020 run
