Delaware is no longer a competitive state for the GOP thanks to the hard-left leaning New Castle County (Wilmington). It shouldn’t even be a state at this point with 3 small counties. Give it to Maryland.
Not true.
As this chart shows, the Senate has gone from 16 to 5 in 2010 to 11 to 10 currently.

The house had a high of 27 dems in 2014 and now has 25. That is a 60% / 40% split.

Delaware was a Republican state for quite some time, but it can be counted as a Democrat one now, despite some of the legislative shifts you cited. For a time, the GOP was overrepresented in the State House, which controlled it uninterrupted from 1985 until 2009, which the Dems finally managed to break with Zero’s election in 2008, while conversely the Dems have been overrepresented in their State Senate for years, which has not elected a GOP majority since 1970 (despite now being down a seat).
Here are some sobering points regarding the state:
#1, No Republican has been elected Governor since 1988.
#2, No Republican has won the Senate seat held by Tom Carper since 1994.
No Republican has won the Senate seat held by Chris Coons since 1966.
#3, No Republican has won the House seat since 2008 (and that by the left-wing RINO Mike Castle)
#4, No Republican has carried Delaware for President (because of New Castle County) since 1988.
