With the Midterm Elections ten months away and the year 2026 about to arrive, it is time to examine the potential for Democratic victories in state Gubernatorial elections and in US Senate elections.
So unless there is significant news about Donald Trump, who already monopolizes news coverage to the point of obscenity, this author and blogger plans to focus on competitive elections that will have an effect on state governments and the US Senate, moving forward.
At this point, it would seem as if there are 11 Gubernatorial elections that will be competitive and significant.
Also, at this point, there are an equal number of 11 US Senate races that are to be seen as competitive and significant.
My intention is to examine each one of these races, and welcome comments by readers, over a period of weeks.
Today, I will list the states that have potential impact for both sets of races.
For the Governorship, these states, alphabetically, are:
Alabama
California
Florida
Georgia
Iowa
Kansas
Michigan
New Mexico
Ohio
Oklahoma
Wisconsin
For the US Senate, these states, alphabetically, are:
Iowa
Kentucky
Maine
Massachusetts
Michigan
Minnesota
Nebraska
New Hampshire
North Carolina
Ohio
Texas
