Democrats win 28 governorships, ending GOP's 31-year hold on Texas

Democrats won 28 governorships in Tuesday's midterm elections, taking control of a majority of U.S. states for the first time in 20 years and ending Republicans' 31-year hold on Texas. With 36 of 50 states holding gubernatorial races, Democrats secured 22 seats and Republicans won 12, with Alaska and Kansas still undecided. Democrats flipped Texas, Ohio, Georgia, Iowa, and Nevada, including historic wins by Gina Hinojosa in Texas and Keisha Lance Bottoms in Georgia. The results reflect voter dissatisfaction and weak support for President Trump, who backed several losing Republican candidates. Democratic control of more states may lead to increased opposition to Trump's policy agenda at the state level.
