2025 United States gubernatorial elections (Radical Change Scenario)

United States gubernatorial elections were held on November 4, 2025, in two states: Virginia and New Jersey. These elections formed part of the 2025 United States elections. The last regular gubernatorial elections for these two states were in 2021. Both incumbents were term-limited, so both seats were open. Democrats held the governorship in New Jersey and picked up the governorship of Virginia.
