A state party trifecta occurs when one political party holds the governorship, a majority in the state senate, and a majority in the state house in a state's government. This page details changes in trifecta status across the country from 1992 to the present. Prior to each general election, Ballotpedia also publishes a list of potential trifecta changes based on the offices up for election.

Changes in state trifectas

The following chart displays how many trifectas each party held between 1992 and 2026. Because newly-elected officeholders are not sworn in until December of the election year or January of the following year, changes in trifecta status as a result of general elections are reflected in the following year's numbers.


The table below shows the changes in trifectas each year since 1992.
