Democrats Secure 28 State Legislative Seat Flips Since Trump's Reelection Since President Donald Trump's reelection and inauguration in January 2025 for his second term, Democrats have achieved significant gains in state legislatures across the United States. Over the past 14 months, they have flipped 28 Republican-held seats in special elections and off-year races, while Republicans have flipped none. These victories span multiple states, including notable wins in Virginia (13 seats), New Jersey (5 seats), Iowa, Mississippi, Texas, New Hampshire, and Florida. The most recent upset occurred in a New Hampshire special election for Carroll County District 7, where Democrat Bobbi Boudman defeated Republican Dale Fincher 51% to 47% in a district that voted Republican by over 13 points just 16 months prior. Democrats attribute these successes to voter dissatisfaction with rising costs of living, particularly energy prices exacerbated by the Iran war and global oil spikes, despite Trump's efforts like releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and pledges from tech firms on data center energy costs. The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) has expanded its 2026 target map to 42 chambers, investing a record $50 million to challenge GOP majorities in the South and Midwest. Key flips include Texas state Senate District 9, where Democrat Taylor Rehmet won by 14 points in a Trump +17 district, signaling a 32-point leftward shift. Republicans express concern over low turnout in these races and fear a 'blue wave' in the 2026 midterms, reminiscent of 2017 gains during Trump's first term. Democrats now lead or overperform in 254 of 284 key races since Trump took office, positioning them to influence redistricting, judicial nominations, and gubernatorial vetoes. GOP leaders like North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson downplay the losses, betting on economic improvements, but the trend has prompted strategic shifts among candidates focusing on local affordability issues.

The federal gov't can only "rig the vote" if THE STATES allow it.

The #Constitution, #Art1Sec4Clause1, and state laws put the power over #Elections in the hands of the various #StateLegislatures.

Trump can blather on all he wants, presidents do not have authority over ANY elections.

State legislators maneuver to preserve history of U.S. Capitol riot While GOP lawmakers and the Trump administration have downplayed the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, there are state efforts underway to ensure it's recorded for history.

New York Assemblyman Chuck Lavine, a Democrat first elected to state office in 2005, has become one of a handful of unlikely leaders of state efforts to preserve the history of the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol insurrection.

The impact of Trump's agenda will depend on the state you live in — POLITICO State lawmakers and governors will play a big role in implementing — or thwarting — Trump's agenda.

The end result is likely to be a further widening of the gap between how red states and blue states address the most controversial and consequential policy debates. apple.news/AVffDEdCnRKm... #governors #statelegislatures
