After the 2018 election cycle, partisan control of Montana state government remained divided, with Democrats holding the governorship and Republicans holding both chambers of the state legislature.
Trifectas
- Trifectas influence how hard a party must work to advance its agenda.
When one party controls the three vital centers of state political power—the office of the governor, the state House, and the state Senate —Ballotpedia considers that party to control a "trifecta." Trifectas make it easier for the dominant party to pursue its agenda, and more difficult for opposition parties to challenge it.
There are currently 37 trifectas: 23 Republican trifectas and 14 Democratic trifectas. Montana operates under divided government.
Trifectas in Montana
In Montana, Republicans held trifecta control of state government from 1995 to 2004. In all other years from 1992 to 2017, control of state government was divided.
