2022 Gubernatorial Election Results

The midterm gubernatorial elections of 2022 were pivotal, occurring across 36 states on November 8, 2022. The results culminated in a surprising stalemate in party control, a significant event that caught many observers off guard, particularly those anticipating a Republican surge dubbed a “red wave.” Ultimately, both major parties secured equal governorships, with Democrats and Republicans each claiming victory in 18 states. This resulted in Democrats gaining a net increase of two governorships, marking a significant shift in some regions.
