Democratic Party wins in Arizona for the first time in 60 years... Governor, State Senate and House of Representatives ‘Triple Crown’

In the US state of Arizona, for the first time in 60 years, the Democratic Party not only won the gubernatorial election but also took control of both the state Senate and House of Representatives.

The Associated Press and Fox News reported on the 6th (local time) that the Democratic Party achieved the 'Trifecta' in Arizona, sweeping the governor and the state Senate and House of Representatives for the first time since 1966.

First, Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs was re-elected, and in the state Senate election, the Democratic Party won 17 seats, exceeding the majority. Republicans kept 10 seats and 3 seats are yet to be decided. This is the first time that Democrats have won a majority in the Arizona Senate since the early 1990s.

In the state House of Representatives, the Democratic Party also secured 31 seats, exceeding the majority. The Republican Party has 16 seats, and 13 seats remain unconfirmed. This is unusual considering that the Republican Party has controlled the House of Representatives for 60 years.

In this way, the Democratic Party achieved three wins in at least six states, including Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Wisconsin.

In Texas, control of the House of Representatives, which had been dominated by the Republican Party since 2003, was transferred to the Democratic Party, and Governor Gina Hinojosa, a member of the Democratic Party, was elected, creating the first Democratic governor in 32 years.

In addition, it was confirmed that the Democratic Party defeated the Republican Party in the Maine and North Carolina Houses of Representatives and the New Hampshire Senate and House of Representatives and took the lead.

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), this midterm election is expected to be recorded as the election with the most changes since 2010, when the Republican Party took control of state governments across the country.
