An Associated Press article covers vote counting in the 2026 midterm governor races, where Democrats hoped to win a majority of governors' offices for the first time since 2006, with 36 states electing governors. The AP reports a dozen competitive races, sees Democrats' best pickup chances in Alaska, Georgia, Iowa and Ohio, and notes Wes Moore, JB Pritzker and Josh Shapiro all won reelection; in Ohio, Vivek Ramaswamy's ad featuring Amy Acton's estranged mother drew bipartisan rebukes while Trump praised it.
