BREAKING: “THIS IS MUCH DEEPER THAN ANYONE THINKS!” Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy warns that Republicans' midterm disaster has handed Democrats control of EVERY presidential swing state's governorship – giving them an astronomical advantage heading into 2028!
Most of the attention has focused on Democrats taking back the House and Senate, but McCarthy pointed to something potentially even more consequential: Democrats now control a majority of America's governorships for the first time since 2010 – including EVERY major presidential swing state.
“What is extraordinary,” McCarthy told Fox News, is not just the House and the Senate – it's the governorships.”
Democrats will hold at least 28 governorships, having flipped Republican-held seats in Texas, Ohio, Georgia, Iowa and Nevada.
And they'll also control the governor's office in the seven states that could be central to the next presidential contest: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
That matters a lot because governors wield enormous influence over state policy, election administration and the political organizations that help candidates compete statewide.
Democrats will enter the next presidential cycle with a powerful network of governors in the very states where presidential campaigns concentrate their resources.
What’s more, Democrats have also made sweeping gains in state legislatures, breaking Republican control in states where the GOP had dominated for years.
“This went very deep,” McCarthy admitted. “It's going to take time to build back.”
There's a rich irony in hearing this from McCarthy, who rushed to Mar-a-Lago to kiss Trump's ring just weeks after the January 6 insurrection, helping restore the disgraced former president's standing. Now he's explaining just how profound the party's electoral losses really are.
McCarthy is right about one thing: This victory goes far beyond Washington and Democrats just got a powerful head start on 2028.
RIP MAGA.
