Democrats win Arizona trifecta for first time since 1966
pbs.org —
Democrats won control of both chambers of Arizona's legislature and retained the governor's office, securing their first trifecta in the state since 1966. The Associated Press confirmed the legislative flips on Friday. Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs had vetoed over 540 bills from the Republican-led legislature on issues like taxes, immigration, and voting laws. She now aims to address water issues, affordability, and fraud in the school voucher program. Democrats also gained full control of state governments in Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Wisconsin, and flipped the Texas House. The National Council of State Legislatures expects this to be the largest shift in legislative seats since 2010.
