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.

Delaware lawmakers have not met in person at Legislative Hall in Dover since before the start of the pandemic, and it’s not clear when they’ll meet in the building again.
Lawmakers will be sworn-in virtually on Jan. 12 to start the 151st session of the General Assembly. The swearing-in and other first day ceremonial activities will be live-streamed on YouTube, state House Speaker Pete Schwartzkopf announced last week.
“The COVID-19 pandemic continues to take a brutal toll on families across Delaware, and after much discussion and deliberation, we determined that there was simply no way for the General Assembly to safely convene our new legislative session in person,” the Rehoboth Beach Democrat said.
