Map showing which political party controls the legislature (and possibly governorship) of each of the 50 United States, in July 2023.
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: This map shows which political party controls both houses of the legislature (and possibly governorship) of each of the 50 United States, in July 2023. All but 3 states have single-party control of both houses of their legislature, and most also have a governor of the same party (a "trifecta"). Trifectas shown as dark blue (Democrat) or dark red (Republican). Where a single party controls both house of the legislature, but not the governorship, colors are lighter: light blue (Democrat) or light red (Republican).
Purple states have divided legislatures (each house of the legislature is controlled by a separate party). Nebraska is shown blank, with an asterisk, because their legislature is officially elected on a non-partisan (non-party) basis. "Control" does not mean absolute control. A "Republican-controlled" legislature, or legislative house, may contain almost as many Democrat legislators as Republicans, but not enough to overcome Republican control. However, in many states where the governor is of the opposite party of the legislature's majority, the legislature may still be able to force legislation past a governor's veto, if the legislature is dominated by a "supermajority" (a large enough legislative majority to meet the state's constitutional requirement to "override" a governor's veto). |
