State Gubernatorial Elections 2026

With 2026 Upon Us In Three Days, Time To Examine Gubernatorial And Senatorial Race Potential For Democrats In Midterm Elections 2026!

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

Horrible Potential Republican Governors In 2026 Midterm Elections!

With the midterm 2026 State Gubernatorial Elections just a bit more than a year away, there is the potential for a group of horrible individuals running for the Governorship in Republican states winning executive control of their state governments.

These would include the following:

Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville

Arizona Congressman Andy Biggs

Florida Congressman Byron Donalds

Michigan Congressman John James

New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik

Ohio entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy

South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace

Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn

All eight of these individuals are highly controversial, overtly loyal to Donald Trump, and would promote the MAGA concept of the Republican Party in state government.

The odds at this moment, more than a year ahead of the elections, is that Tuberville, Donalds, Ramaswamy, Mace, and Blackburn would be odds on favorites to become their states’ governors, while Biggs, James, and Stefanik have a tougher battle ahead, with their states presently having Democratic Governors.
