This week's question was, of the 24 states where we have full results available, how many states elected a governor and U.S. Senator from a different party on Nov. 8, 2022?
You answered: 2.
The correct answer was 5.
Twenty-six states held elections for governor and U.S. Senate on Nov. 8. Of that total, we have called races in 24 states.
Five of those 24 states elected a governor and U.S. Senator from a different party:
- Kansas: Incumbent Gov. Laura Kelly (D) and incumbent U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran (R) won re-election.
- Wisconsin: Incumbent Gov. Tony Evers (D) and incumbent U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R) won re-election.
- New Hampshire: Incumbent Gov. Chris Sununu (R) and incumbent U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan (D) won re-election.
- Vermont: Incumbent Gov. Phil Scott (R) and U.S. Senate candidate Peter Welch (D) won their elections.
- Nevada: Gubernatorial candidate Joe Lombardo (R) and incumbent U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D) won their elections.
Nine states elected a Democratic governor and U.S. Senator. Nine states elected a Republican governor and U.S. Senator. Races in two states—Alaska and Georgia—are uncalled as of Nov. 17.
Thanks for your response!
