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.
