2023 United States gubernatorial elections (Dark Brandon)

United States gubernatorial elections were held on November 7, 2023, in Kentucky and Mississippi, and November 18, 2023, in Louisiana. These elections formed part of the 2023 United States elections. The last regular gubernatorial elections for all three states were in 2019. The Democrats had to defend an incumbent in Kentucky, plus an open east in Louisiana, while the Republicans had to defend an incumbent in Mississippi. Though all three seats up were in typically Republican states, the election cycle became unexpectedly competitive; Kentucky and Mississippi were seen as highly contested races.
Democrats were able to hold their seat in Kentucky, but Republicans managed to flip the open seat in Louisiana. In Mississippi, Republicans narrowly held control of the seat. As a result, the Republicans gained a net of one seat, bringing the total number of Republican governors to 27, while Democrats were reduced to 23 governors.
