We haven’t looked at governorship races. Republicans hold a 27-23 advantage today. Republican held Massachusetts and Maryland are guaranteed to be Democratic pickups. Republican Arizona is likely to go to Democratic for Hobbs depending on whether Lake is the GOP nominee or not. GOP held Georgia leans Republican, Kemp over Abrams. That’s should be 3 governorships the Democrat pickup this November with Georgia being a possible 4th.
But on the Democratic side, Democratic held Kansas, Nevada, Wisconsin lean Democratic, Pennsylvania is likely Democratic as Shapiro has an 8-point lead which borders on solid. Chances are we’re looking at the Democrats picking up 3-4 governorships this November if these numbers hold. That would give the Democrats a 26-24 advantage, perhaps a 27-23 edge depending on Georgia. But keep an eye on Kansas, Nevada and Wisconsin, all democratic held governors, all lean democratic which means these 3 races are competitive with the democrat having a slight advantage. Trump has been a big help for the democrats in the governor’s races, his endorsed candidates make very poor general election candidates. Makes me wonder who’s side Trump is on?
No change in the house or senate, 18-20 GOP gain in the house, a 1 seat gain in the senate for the democrats.
It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
