Chris Coons

Yesterday’s Supreme Court decision rejecting the Trump administration’s attempt to throw out 20,000 California ballots was a win for voters. Our elections belong to the people, not a president hell-bent on using the power of his office to rig the results in his favor.

Since taking office, Trump has made baseless claims of voter fraud to intimidate voters and undermine our elections. But Americans aren’t backing down, and neither am I. I’ll keep fighting to protect your right to vote and make sure every eligible vote is counted.

As the U.S. goes to the polls today, I am encouraged by statements from Israeli leaders following last week’s election. They are signaling a potential path forward that could set Israel on a positive new trajectory.

Pardons should not be for sale to the biggest campaign donors. This is a clear abuse of presidential power that erodes public trust and corrupts the very core of our system of laws.

I’m keeping my friend Chris Murphy and his family in prayers and wishing him a full and speedy recovery.

ACA open enrollment starts tomorrow, and Delawareans are facing another year of rising premiums. Republicans and Trump made it worse by allowing enhanced ACA tax credits to expire. Health care should be affordable. I’ll keep fighting for that.

If Trump wants to find the leading cause of government waste, he can just look in the mirror.
 
The Foreign Relations committee found he’s sticking taxpayers with a bill of up to $19 billion to tear down America’s foreign policy apparatus while he and his rich friends line their pockets with cash.

While he hopes nobody is watching, Trump greenlit the expulsion of more than 150 Afghans back to Taliban rule, where they will face almost certain persecution, torture, or worse.  
 
Accountability for Trump’s cruel immigration agenda cannot come soon enough.

Hot take: the US should not be a safe haven for election deniers and criminals.

I got my flu shot in Wilmington today. Quick, easy, painless — and it goes a long way toward keeping our community healthy!

To do nothing to prevent Chinese spies from targeting a top American executive is a dangerous dereliction of duty.

Health care open enrollment starts this Sunday, and more Delawareans are facing impossible choices as premiums climb.

Republicans are driving up the cost of health care. We need to act to lower costs and reinstate the ACA tax credits before more families lose coverage or go without care.

One more thing to add to the list of questions for Musk when I subpoena him.

When Brent Hershey started raising pigs, gestation crates were the norm. Now, he’s found a different way to do things, and he’s seeing the benefits firsthand.

I visited Brent’s farm to see how giving sows more room to move is boosting production and making sows and piglets healthier.

Eight months into Trump’s war with Iran, twenty-one American service members have been killed and hundreds wounded. Behind those numbers are grieving loved ones and families waiting for them to come home. I'm keeping them in my prayers.

Senator Coons joined CBS News' The Takeout with Major Garrett on October 28, 2026.

Nothing more terrifying than Trump's economy this Halloween.

I join the nation in mourning the loss of Dolores Huerta. Her legacy will live on in every worker who refuses to give up on the promise of a fairer future, and every family made safer by the changes she championed. It’s on us all to carry that fight forward.
