Democratic candidates flipped control of multiple state legislatures Tuesday, clinching electoral trifectas in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
It was a wildly successful night for Democratic candidates in Congress, but Americans also voted to install Democrats in their state governments across the country.
In Wisconsin, Democrats flipped both the state’s Assembly and Senate. In the state’s Senate, Democrats flipped to an 18-15 seat majority, an exact inverse of the chamber’s current makeup. In the state Assembly, Democrats secured a 53-46 majority. And Democratic candidate David Crowley was elected to the governor’s office, securing the party an electoral trifecta for the first time in 16 years.
In Minnesota, Democrats clinched majorities in both chambers of the state legislature. In the House, the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party has won 72 of 134 seats thus far, surpassing the 68-seat majority. In the state’s Senate, the DFL party held onto their 34-seat majority. When coupled with DFL nominee Senator Amy Klobuchar’s victory in Minnesota’s gubernatorial race, Democrats have achieved trifecta control of the state’s government.
In Michigan, Democrats flipped the Michigan House of Representatives. In the 110-seat House, Democrats ousted at least five Republican incumbents to secure at least 50 seats. In the 38-member state Senate, Democrats ousted two GOP incumbents, to grow their majority from 20 to 23 seats. Democratic candidate Jocelyn Benson was elected to the governor’s office, securing the Democrat’s electoral trifecta in that state.
In Pennsylvania, Democrats also achieved a trifecta by flipping the state’s Senate for the first time since 1993. Ahead of the election Tuesday, Republicans held a 27-23 majority in the 50-seat state Senate. Democrats flipped three seats on election night. Democrats also increased their majority in the state’s House of Representatives from 103-100 to 111 seats.
In North Carolina, Democrats flipped control of the state’s House of Representatives for the first time since 2010. As of Wednesday morning, Democrats held 66 seats in the 120-seat House. They needed to flip 12 seats to retake a majority, and by the time all the votes are counted, it’s possible they will have flipped 20. Going into the election, Republicans were just one seat short of a supermajority in the chamber.
As if that wasn’t enough, a few other states appeared to be still on their way to turning their state legislatures blue.
In Texas, the House races remained too close to call Wednesday morning, but the Democrats were closing in on control of the lowest chamber for the first time since 2003. As of Wednesday morning, Democrats needed to flip at least 14 seats, but had already flipped six seats, and were leading in at least a dozen more Republican-held districts. Meanwhile, Republicans maintained control of the state Senate.
In Arizona, Democrats were poised to take control of the state legislatures for the first time in 60 years, and potentially achieve yet another electoral trifecta for the Democratic party.
