The 2020 United States gubernatorial elections will be held on November 3, 2020, in 11 states and two territories. In addition, special elections may take place (depending on state law) if other gubernatorial seats are vacated. The previous gubernatorial elections for this group of states took place in 2016, except in New Hampshire and Vermont where governors only serve two-year terms and elected their current governors in 2018. Nine state governors are running for reelection,[lower-alpha 1] while Democrat Steve Bullock of Montana cannot run again due to term limits and Republican Gary Herbert of Utah is retiring.[1]

In addition to state gubernatorial elections, the territories of American Samoa and Puerto Rico are also holding elections for their governors. Puerto Rican governor Wanda Vázquez Garced lost the New Progressive primary to Pedro Pierluisi,[2] while Lolo Matalasi Moliga of American Samoa cannot run again due to term limits.[3]

The 2020 gubernatorial elections will take place concurrently with the presidential election, elections to the House of Representatives and Senate, and numerous state and local elections.

Predictions

Montana is considered the most competitive race in this cycle and is rated a tossup by four of six major pundits. Incumbent Democratic governor Steve Bullock is term-limited, but his lieutenant governor, Mike Cooney, a longtime political figure in the state since 1977, is the Democratic nominee. The Republican nominee is Montana at-large congressman Greg Gianforte, who is a controversial figure because he was arrested for body-slamming a reporter the day of a 2017 special election.[4] The Bullock administration has an approval rating of 52% and a disapproval of 31%, according to a poll by the Morning Consult, meaning Cooney's election chances may be high in the otherwise solidly Republican state.[5] North Carolina is the next most competitive race, as it is a Republican-leaning state with a Democratic governor, Roy Cooper, meaning that Cooper faces a tough reelection. Cooper won his 2016 election by a mere 10,277 votes, or 0.22%.[6] However, most forecasters give the race a Democratic lean as Cooper has an approval rating of 59% due to his response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7] Cooper has also won most polls against his Republican challenger, Dan Forest, by an average of a 17-point lead, according to RealClearPolitics.[8]

Vermont and New Hampshire are both races that could become competitive seeing as they are Democratic states with Republican governors in a presidential year. Republican incumbents Phil Scott and Chris Sununu are ranked among the most popular governors in the United States, with an approval rating of 65% and 59%, respectively, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. During the pandemic, both of their approval ratings have soared to 75%. However, Phil Scott has said he will not be voting for President Trump, while Chris Sununu has welcomed the President to New Hampshire.[9][10] This may prove advantageous for Scott, a Republican whose policies align much closer to that of the Democratic Party than the Republicans.[11] The Green Mountain state holds a 76% disapproval rating of the president,[12] and Scott represents the progressive wing of the Republican Party in Vermont which has now, for the most part, migrated to the Democrats.[13] Phil Scott's challenge is David Zuckerman, the state's lieutenant governor, who is running on both the Democratic and Progressive nominations. Zuckerman has been endorsed by Bernie Sanders, a U.S. Senator from Vermont and the most popular amongst his constituents in the country.[14][15] This could potentially put the race into the tossup category. Sununu also remains popular in his state, although his warmth to President Trump may be a disadvantage as the state holds a net 13% disapproval rating of him.[16] However, New Hampshire has an even Cook PVI,[17] and despite voting for a Democrat six of seven times since 1992, it has continuously been a battleground state.[18] Sununu is running against New Hampshire Senate Majority Leader Dan Feltes.

In Missouri, Republican incumbent Mike Parson assumed office after the resignation of Eric Greitens, and his lack of name recognition and unpopularity could make his race against state auditor Nicole Galloway, Missouri’s only Democratic statewide office holder, competitive, though most forecasters still rate the race as likely Republican due to Missouri’s heavy Republican lean. West Virginia’s gubernatorial race was seen as safe for Republicans because the state heavily leans Republican, but recent forecasts now[when?] rate it as likely Republican due to corruption allegations against incumbent Jim Justice[19][20][21] that have led to rising unpopularity. Justice will face centrist Democrat Ben Salango, who is endorsed by U.S. senator Joe Manchin.

The gubernatorial races in Delaware and Washington are seen as safe for Democrats, while Indiana, North Dakota, and Utah are seen as safe for Republicans.

Several sites and individuals publish predictions of competitive seats. These predictions look at factors such as the strength of the incumbent (if the incumbent is running for re-election), the strength of the candidates, and the partisan leanings of the state (reflected in part by the state's Cook Partisan Voting Index rating). The predictions assign ratings to each seat, with the rating indicating the predicted advantage that a party has in winning that seat.

Most election predictors use:

  • "tossup": no advantage
  • "tilt" (used by some predictors): advantage that is not quite as strong as "lean"
  • "lean": slight advantage
  • "likely": significant, but surmountable, advantage
  • "safe": near-certain chance of victory

Two-term incumbent Democrat Steve Bullock is term-limited in 2020, making him the only incumbent governor in the United States (not counting U.S. territories) who is term-limited in that election year. This means that this is an open seat election, and this race is the most competitive of this year’s gubernatorial elections. Bullock’s lieutenant governor, Mike Cooney, a longtime local politician, is the Democratic nominee, defeating businesswoman and daughter of former U.S. representative Pat Williams, Whitney Williams.[4][59][60] The Republican nominee is Montana at-large congressman Greg Gianforte, who defeated Attorney General Tim Fox and state senator Albert Olszewski.[4][61][62][63] Gianforte is a controversial figure, as he was arrested for body slamming a reporter the day of a 2017 special election, and he’s an out of state businessman. Primaries were held on June 2, with both parties featuring competitive primaries.
