GOP State Dominance

 Our most recent book is titled Divided We Stand: The 2020 Elections and American Politics.  Our next book looks at 2024. Among other things, it discusses state and congressional elections.

Axios:

Republicans this year will control the legislative process in nearly twice the number of states as Democrats, Axios' Alex Fitzpatrick found.
  • Republicans will control state capitols in 24 states, to Democrats' 15, per Cook Political Report.
  • The process is split in 10 others, including Michigan, Minnesota and North Carolina.
Nebraska has a unicameral legislature unique among U.S. states — though the Cornhusker State has a Republican-leaning supermajority.
