Six Delaware Republican senators refused this week to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris for winning the 2020 election.
It was the latest sign that GOP lawmakers at the state Capitol may be less willing to compromise on crucial bills this year as they move away from moderate traditions to a polarized, partisan split.
Lawmakers on Thursday voted on two Democratic resolutions which essentially serve as a formal statement without any legal or material consequence to congratulate the state s former U.S. senator and his running mate on achieving the highest office in the country.

A nightly Code Purple shelter is up and running at the former Troop 7 building along Route 1 outside Lewes.
Officials gathered Dec. 11 to tour the building, offer thanks to those who made the shelter possible and acknowledge the receipt of a $50,000 Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act grant.
House Speaker Rep. Pete Schwartzkopf, D-Rehoboth Beach, said the funds would be used for much-needed supplies and hotel room vouchers.

LEWES, Del. – After ten years of careful planning, Sussex County’s first-ever affordable rental project is now underway at the Coastal Tide Apartments in Lewes. This is all part of the Sussex County Rental Program, which “seeks to stimulate the provision of affordable rental housing for the residents of Sussex County.”
“It’s on the east side of the county where we have long since seen a demand in affordable housing,” said Sussex County Housing Coordinator and Fair Housing Compliance Officer Brandy Nauman.
Sussex County officials say 26 out of the 168 units of Coastal Tide Apartments will be reserved for the program. The county will use a lottery system and create a waiting list so that there’s a fair opportunity for all applicants. Applicants must also have lived and worked in Sussex County for a year and be of eligible income.
