State-Level Democrats Pull Off Big Wins in Key States

Democratic candidates for state legislatures won big in several key swing states last week, showing Democrats voted solidly for down ballot candidates when faced with GOP control at the state level. Despite top of the ticket losses, state Democrats over performed, delivering crucial victories in state Houses where bodily autonomy and voting rights hang in the balance.

District level data is not yet available to thoroughly dissect each race, but some key results include:

Pennsylvania Democrats have successfully secured enough seats to protect their crucial majority in the state House.

In one of the highest-profile battlegrounds of the cycle, North Carolina Democrats are projected to gain enough seats to break the Republican supermajority in the House. This win restores the veto power for incoming Democratic Governor Josh Stein in that state.
