Delaware Democrats and Republicans used the final days before the election to convince voters to show up to the polls.
Democrats in Delaware spent Monday night at a get-out-the-vote rally in Wilmington.
The day before, a "Trump train” rolled through the state.
“We had events in all three counties that honestly were well attended for a late season Sunday afternoon,” said Delaware Republican Party Chairman Charlie Copeland.
Republican volunteers and campaign workers spent the past couple days manning phone banks and canvassing the areas around polling places with signs.
Copeland is hopeful Donald Trump’s presence on the top of the ballot will energize Republicans in the state to vote this year.
He also expects the state's African American vote -which leans reliably Democratic- to be down this year without Barack Obama on the ballot. And that could give an edge to statewide Republican races.
Meanwhile, Delaware U.S. Senator Tom Carper - who’s a Democrat not up for reelection- is looking past election day.
He wants to see both sides come together after this divisive campaign season -- an effort he believes should start with the next president.
“One of the things I’ve urged Secretary Hillary Clinton to do if she’s fortunate enough to win is to invite Democratic and Republican leaders to come to Camp David for a weekend,” Carper said.
Carper said he’s hopeful Congressional leaders would be able to agree on at least a few issues at such a meeting and build from that foundation.
