Heading into the 2026 elections, there are two states with a governor of one party and a veto-proof state legislative majority of the opposing party: Kansas and Kentucky. At least one legislative chamber is up for election this year in both states, meaning their veto-proof majority status could change.
Voters in Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Vermont, and Wisconsin could elect veto-proof legislative majorities this year opposite their current governors' parties. Four of those states — Arizona, Nevada, Vermont, and Wisconsin — are also holding gubernatorial elections.
