Governors’ Race Ratings Shift Towards Democrats

Cook Political Report: “There’s no prize for the party that holds the majority of governorships, but Democrats may be poised to take the lead nationally for the first time since 2010.”

“That’s in part because the party now finds itself surprisingly competitive in several red-leaning states, including Ohio and Iowa, due to a favorable national climate and unique Democratic recruits.”

“As such, we are moving five governors’ race ratings, all but one in Democrats’ direction.”
