October 12, 2020: Sixteen (16) of the nation’s 36 governing trifectas are potentially at risk of being broken during Election 2020. A trifecta exists when one party holds the governorship, a majority in the state senate, and a majority in the state house.[1]

Eight of the potentially vulnerable trifectas are held by Democrats and eight by Republicans.[1]


Ballotpedia rates the level of vulnerability for each state. Only Florida’s trifecta is considered “highly vulnerable.”[1]
