2026 U.S gubernatorial elections (Porvenir)

United States gubernatorial elections were held on November 3, 2026.
Despite occurring during the middle of Democratic President Kamala Harris' first term, with midterms generally favoring the opposition party, the Democrats lost just one seat. The 2026 D.C subway attacks which boosted Harris' approval ratings, and the mathematical disadvantage facing the GOP in governorships with many Democratic seats being in solidly blue states, denied similar GOP success as was seen in the U.S Senate that cycle.
Olympic figure skater Nancy Kerrigan was elected as the sole independent governor in the nation, winning in Massachusetts.
