All three states lean heavily Republican in federal elections, yet Democrats currently control the governorship in two out of the three.
As usual, we are rating these races on the following scale: Safe Republican, Likely Republican, Lean Republican, Toss-Up, Lean Democratic, Likely Democratic and Safe Democratic.
The race moving in the Republican direction is Louisiana, which we’re shifting from Likely Republican to Safe Republican.
But for now, we’ll keep it at Likely Republican.
That may be in tune with Kentucky voters, who, despite the state’s Republican lean, rejected a 2022 ballot measure that would have enhanced the state’s ability to outlaw abortion.
