Summary
The next two years will feature 38 gubernatorial races across the U.S., with major implications for national politics and key policy debates post-2024.
In 2025, New Jersey and Virginia will hold early races, with both likely to shape party strategies under Trump’s second term. Virginia’s contest could elect its first female governor, while New Jersey sees crowded primaries.
In 2026, 36 states, including key battlegrounds like Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, will hold elections, with 16 open seats due to term limits.
These races could significantly influence party direction and future presidential elections.
Watch the DNC botch those too.
Oh NBC News, you sweet summer child, you think elections will still have any semblance of fairness now…
So they have two years to really fuck things up, then.
