I would assume Trump's tariffs and economic policies destroyed him in the rust-belt and Iowa, causing all of the governorships up there to flip. Kansas and Oklahoma flipped due to their governors' unpopularity and the tariffs impacting farmers, whereas Stacey Abrams pulled off a huge upset in Georgia. Connecticut and Rhode Island flipping is due to their unpopular governors and Republicans recruiting stronger candidates, while Maine still flips due to LePage unpopularity.

Dems win OK but not:
AZ
CT
MD
NH
RI (!)
TN

I can't see this happening. If Trump's economic policies are so bad that Oklahoma, a state with zero Dem Senators or Representatives, a state that hasn't had a single county vote for a Democrat in a Presidential election since 2000, flips, then the GOP sure as hell isn't winning any of the six states I listed above.
You do realize gubernatorial elections are not the same as presidential elections, right?
