In this thread, you list off who you think is going to be governor of each state in eight years. This is similar to the brand new congress game thread in the other section of the forum.

Here's a few predictions of mine:

Arizona: Greg Stanton
California: Eleni Kounalakis
New Jersey: Sheila Oliver.

Ige and Newsom in 2022 are deeply unpopular, they will get primaried in 2022, forget 8 years from now.

Ige is not eligible to run for reelection in 2022, but he could come back in 2026. Also he's popular again. And he beat back an A-list challenger last year even when he had horrific ratings.

I can see US Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) running for the Governorship in 2022.

I think Gabbard will win statewide office down the road, so HI Governor could be it.

I see lots of people deeply hate her.

I think Georgia and Texas will probably be firmly in play for Democrats by 2026, even if it is an unfavorable environment nationally.

She'll be back and could possibly win depending on the Democratic nominee.

Depending on the Republican nominee, you mean? I'm more skeptical about her chances in a Democratic primary now that her strange ideology has more fully come to light.

Georgia and Texas in 2026 will look the way Arizona does now.
Georgia will be there sooner than that. Kemp will not win a majority of votes on Election Night 2022. Agree w/ Texas.

I do NOT see the TX Dems winning back the TX Governor's Mansion anytime soon.

Georgia will be where Arizona is in a couple years. Texas is nowhere near that point yet though - even if Texas keeps trending D it’ll take at least 6-8 years plus a wave for it to actually flip. Even O’Rourke lost by 3 to one of the least popular R senators in a D+9 environment, while Abbott won by 16. Trump won it by 9. It’s still a ways from flipping.

It depends on who the Democratic nominee is. Stacey Abrams is the only one that made that race competitive. Kemp would have probable won by double digits if she wasn't the nominee.


Huh

The downballot elections were really close too, and Georgia Republicans didn't even win by double digits in 2014.

Don't talk about stuff you don't know about.

Lol wut? Everything statewide on the ballot was close. Gary Black is the only statewide officer that won by a substantial margin (he's the only one I voted for) and one of them went to a run off.  Thirteen state house seats flipped and one federal one too. Another came down to like 500 votes. GA has only been won by Rs by double digits a few times since it's been a red state it's a third black.

I think Whitmer survives in 2022 & it's likely she's either running for United States Senator in 2024 when Stabenow is forced into retirement (you know the DSCC will pressure her to retire because there's young blood in the Wolverine State) or the White House.

I expect Marian Orr to go for WY-GOV gold around that time, if she doesn't straight-up try and knock Gordon off wholesale in 2022.
