Democrats appear poised to flip several governorships during the midterm with less than three months ahead of the November 8 elections.
Currently, Democrats hold governorships in 22 states, while Republican governors lead 28 states. Open races in states easily won by President Joe Biden in 2020and abortion emerging as a key issue after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the case that guaranteed abortion-rights to women across the countryraises Democratic hopes of flipping the top office in several states despite a national environment favoring Republicans.
Recent polling shows Democrats are strongly favored to win the gubernatorial races in Massachusetts and Maryland, two of the most Democratic states in the country that are currently led by moderate Republican governors who have spoken out against former President Donald Trump. Democrats also lead polls in Arizona, one of the most evenly divided states in the United States. In Georgia, Democrats hope Stacey Abrams will pull off a win against incumbent GOP Governor Brian Kemp despite a polling deficit.
