Five states held elections for both governor and U.S. Senate in 2020: Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and West Virginia.

• In one of these states, Montana, the gubernatorial election was an open-seat race, due to term limits. None of these five states featured an open-seat race for the U.S. Senate.

• The incumbent governor and senator were both Democrats in one of these states, Delaware, and in one of them, West Virginia, both were Republicans.

• Three states held gubernatorial and senate elections with incumbents from opposite parties. In two of those states, Montana and North Carolina, the incumbent governor was Democratic while the incumbent senator was Republican. In New Hampshire, the incumbent governor was Republican while the incumbent senator was Democratic.
