The Republican Party could win a larger number of governors than the Democratic Party. With the canvass of five states still to be completed, the GOP wins the governor's race in 17 states, giving it a total of 25 governors at this time. For its part, the Democratic Party wins in 16 states, which would give it 24 governors.
For the moment, Republicans only lose the governor's seat in Massachusetts, where Democratic candidate Maura Healey won over her rival Geoff Diehl.
Mike Dunleavy renews his governorship in Alaska
With 98% of the vote counted, Republican candidate Joe Lombardo snatched the Democratic Party's seat in Nevada, as he has more than one-point lead over Democratic challenger Steve Sisolak.
In Alaska, the balance also shifts to the Republican side. Mike Dunleavy obtains 50.3% , enough to renew his position as Alaskan governor.
The race in Arizona is more hotly contested. One of the most media-worthy duels of these midterms is that of Katie Hobbs and Kari Lake, of the Democratic and Republican Party respectively. With 98% of the vote counted in the Arizona race, the difference between the two candidates is one point in Hobbs' favor, who won the 'governors race' in Arizona.
