There are 39 state government trifectas, more than twice as many as the 19 there were over 30 years ago in 1992. A state government trifecta is a term to describe a single-party government when one political party holds the governorship and majorities in both chambers of the state legislature.
While there are more total trifectas today than at any point in the last 30 years, neither major party is at its own individual high. There are 17 Democratic trifectas, one below the peak of 18 Democratic trifectas in 1993. And there are 22 Republican trifectas, four below the peak of 26 Republican trifectas in 2018.
