Republican nominee and Supreme Court justice Charles Evans Hughes carried Delaware with 50.20% of the vote, defeating Democratic nominee and incumbent president Woodrow Wilson, who won 47.78% of the vote. This election marks one of three times in the 20th century that the state voted for the losing candidate, along with 1932 and 1948.
Wilson was the first Democrat to win the presidency without Delaware since James K. Polk in 1844, and Hughes the first Republican to ever carry Delaware without winning the presidency.
