2020 US Gubernatorial Elections (King's World)

United States gubernatorial elections will be held on November 3, 2020, in 11 states and two territories. In addition, special elections may take place (depending on state law) if other gubernatorial seats are vacated. The last regular gubernatorial elections for nine of the eleven states took place in 2016. The last gubernatorial elections for New Hampshire and Vermont took place in 2018, as the governors of both states serve two-year terms.
The Democrats gained one governorship in Missouri while the Republicans gained a governorship in Montana which left the both groups tied once again.
The Democrats weren't able to really recurit a strong candidate to keep Montana seat blue and overcome the Trump boost. Therefore they lost the seat.
In Missouri the Democratic Nominee, Nicole Galloway was able to succeed by beating Incumbent Mike Parsons in a very close election. Galloway also had help from the Biden/Harris Democratic ticket which spurred a unprecedented number of African American voters in cities and the suburbs. Galloway also did really well in rural Missouri which helped cut away Parson's margin.
