About the 2024 governor elections

Donald Trump won the presidency again in 2024, defeating Kamala Harris. Eleven states elected governors, and every seat stayed with the party that held it. Republicans won eight and Democrats three. The most closely watched race was North Carolina, where Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein defeated Republican Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson by about 15 points, even as Trump carried the state. Robinson's campaign was damaged by reports about his past online posts. In Washington, Democratic Attorney General Bob Ferguson beat former Congressman Dave Reichert by about 11 points, and Matt Meyer won Delaware. Republicans held their seats comfortably. Kelly Ayotte won New Hampshire by about nine points over Joyce Craig, Mike Braun took Indiana and Greg Gianforte and Spencer Cox were re-elected in Montana and Utah. Phil Scott won another term in Vermont by a huge margin. Republicans also held Missouri, North Dakota and West Virginia.
