Democratic control of the state Senate hinges on victory for their candidate, Stephanie Hansen. Hansen’s campaign is benefitting from the outpouring of anger and activism that has erupted since the election of Donald Trump as president. The special Senate election in Delaware on Feb. 25 will be its first test.
