The polls have closed, and results for the 2026 midterm elections will be pouring in all night. Here are the live results for the State Senate election in Pennsylvania's 26th district. (See results below.)
State Senate District 26 includes the following Delaware County locales: Marple, Newtown, Ridley, Springfield, Upper Darby and Upper Providence. Aldan, Clifton Heights, East Lansdowne, Glenolden, Lansdowne, Media, Millbourne, Morton, Prospect Park, Ridley Park, Rutledge and Swarthmore.
The District 26 race pits Democratic incumbent Tim Kearney against Republican challenger Gail Scott.
Pennsylvania has a split state legislature — the Democratic Party holds a 103-100 majority in the House of Representatives, while Republicans have a 27-23 majority in the State Senate.
With the governorship, all house seats and half of the senate seats up for election, party control of Pennsylvania state politics is on the line. The Democratic Party, spearheaded by Gov. Josh Shapiro's re-election campaign, sees an opportunity to control all three chambers for the first time since 1993, which was also the last time the party controlled the State Senate.
The District 26 election tally is available below. Election results are unofficial until certified on a later date.
