Thought this was supposed to be loss for a second, my brain has well and truly turned to mush.
Hey look, the brown states are an appropriate color.
Kansas is so weird. It’s a deeply red state in national elections. Kansas hasn’t sent a democrat to the US senate since 1932. But in 2022 Kansas voted down an abortion ban in a landslide and has elected two democratic governors in the last 20 years (both women).
Last Democratic governor of Tennessee was extremely popular & fixed the state government which had been a total mess, got reelected in a landslide. Won’t see another in my lifetime.
You think this is weird? See 2006 Wyoming, Oklahoma ,Arkansas and California gubernatorial elections. It’s not what you’d expect on who’d win and by how much lol.
I’d say its safe to assume Louisiana will become a no by 2034, noticable shift to republicans, and the last democrat governor won two elections with slim margins and not too popular, and in 2023, the democrat nominee lost by 25.9 points. a 26% shift towards republicans
What’s the opposite side of the coin? How many states haven’t had R govs in the last 10 years? Assuming it’s quite a small number
Idaho was dem governed through the entire 70s and 80s. The last couple races have been pretty uncompetitive tho.
Should West Virginia count? He ran as a democrat but immediately switched once he won
Like I said in the other thread about governor parties, there’s a lot more flipping between D and R in the governor’s office than you’d think from a state’s general party lean.
What if your governor switched parties does that still count?
Louisiana had a quite conservative Democratic governor, John Bel Edwards.
last time we had a republican governer, he sucked
Now do the Republican.
What a clear distillation of states where I’d think about living vs. states where I’d never live. (Except Kansas).
What makes this odd is that MA had republican governors from 1991 to 2007. Before Deval Patrick, MA would have been brown on this map.
Utah is the longest state without a Democratic governor. It’s last one left office in 1985.
On the other side, it’d be either Oregon or New York, who had D governors for longer.
Something makes me happy with the fact that the elections for governors are not drawn along the boundaries of presidential elections. With the amount of polarization in this country I’ll take it
Can’t believe how red Ohio has become
