Happy Election Day! Two states are electing governors today: #Kentucky and #Mississippi. Both have incumbents running for reelection.

[Eagleton Center on the American Governor @ECAG_RU]

In Mississippi, the incumbent is Gov Tate Reeves (R). He is facing state utility regulator Brandon Presley (D) (yes, he is Elvis’s second cousin).

The incumbents are favored in both races, but polling has been inconsistent

That leaves two gubernatorial races yet to be voted up this fall: Kentucky and Mississippi, each of which has an incumbent running for reelection (Andy Beshear (D) in KY and Tate Reeves (R) in MS)

[Eagleton Center on the American Governor @ECAG_RU]

DYK there was a gubernatorial election yesterday? It was primary day in Louisiana, one of three states electing governors this year. Louisiana is the only open seat this year, with incumbent Governor John Bel Edwards (D) term limited.

[Eagleton Center on the American Governor @ECAG_RU]

For the first time since 2011, however, a run-off will not be necessary for governor of LA. Atty Gen Jeff Landry (R) won over 51% of the vote and will be declared the winner. This is a “pickup” for the Republicans, as he will replace the departing Democrat.
