The current US population is 327,533,774. Democrat controlled is 127,182,161 or 36.7%, Republican controlled is 133,860,630 or 40.9%. Divided control is 73,490,983 or 22.4%.


Governors by Party

26 States have Republican Governors include: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, N Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, S Carolina, S Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, W Virginia, Wyoming.

25 States have Democrat Governors include: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, N Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin.


The selection of Governors is eclectic and defies strict party loyalty by State. In 2016, Trump won many States that now have Democrat Governors.

There are aberrations in the data above. Kansas has a Democrat Governor, but both houses have remained in Republican control. Louisiana appears to alternate between Democrat and Republican Governors. Vermont has a Republican Governor, a Democrat Legislature and a Socialist US Senator.  Nebraska has a Republican Governor and a nonpartisan legislature. Missouri is a Non-Right-to Work State with a Republican Governor and legislature.

If Trump voters fail to elect more Republicans in 2020, their own agenda is at risk, because Democrat legislators vote as a block. They also need to remember that Governors affect legislation and globalist Marxist oligarchs contribute across State lines and steal you elections.
