On this episode: According to BP's annual trifecta vulnerability ratings, eleven state government trifectas are vulnerable in the 2024 elections. Democrats are defending seven vulnerable trifectas and Republicans are defending four. For the Democrats, Oregon’s trifecta status is highly vulnerable, while the Republican trifectas of Texas and New Hampshire are also highly vulnerable.
A state government trifecta occurs when one party holds the governorship and majorities in both chambers of the state legislature. Currently, there are 40 of them: 23 Republican and 17 Democratic, with the remaining 10 states having divided governments, where maybe they have a Republican Governor, a Democratic Senate, and a Republican House.
