State government trifecta is a term to describe single-party government, when one political party holds the governorship and majorities in both chambers of the state legislature. The following are variations of the term:

Trifecta: One political party holds the governorship, a majority in the state senate, and a majority in the state house in a state's government.
Trifecta plus: A trifecta and a working majority of the state's court of last resort siding with the political leaning of the party in power.^[1]
Trifecta with supermajority: A trifecta in which both legislative bodies have a supermajority, commonly defined as either 60 percent or two-thirds of seats held by a single party. Click here to read more about states with veto-proof supermajorities.^[2]

As of April 19, 2024, there are 23 Republican trifectas, 17 Democratic trifectas, and 10 divided governments where neither party holds trifecta control.

HIGHLIGHTS

As a result of the 2023 elections, there were 40 trifectas across the country. That was more trifectas than at any other point from 1992 to 2022.

Between 1992 and 2024, the most trifectas for each party were 18 for Democrats (1993) and 26 for Republicans (2018).

As of January 2024, 41.7% of the country's population lived in a state with a Democratic trifecta, 41.0% lived in a state with a Republican trifecta, and 17.4% lived in a state with divided government.

Utah was the only state to remain a trifecta from 1992 to 2024, with Republicans holding a trifecta in each of those years.

Trifecta maps

The following maps display current state government trifectas as well as historical trifectas leading up to elections dating back to 2010. Use the buttons below to select a map. A pending trifecta means that a trifecta was gained as a result of an election, but the winners have not yet been sworn in to create that trifecta.

Media coverage

The following section contains quotes which are representative of media coverage of trifectas and their significance.

“	One-party dominance is not unique to Illinois; it’s part of the modern political landscape. In this era of extreme partisanship, state government “trifectas” — in which one party controls the governorship and both houses of the legislature — have become the rule. In 2002, just before Illinois turned Democratic, 30 states had divided government, 11 had Republican trifectas and eight had Democratic trifectas. Now, only 12 states have divided government, while 23 have Republican trifectas and 15 have Democratic trifectas.^[8]	”
—Chicago Magazine^[9]

“	In more than half the states, Republican or Democratic trifectas are poised to exert outsized influence on redistricting after the 2020 census. In those states, elected officials set the critical boundaries that often determine whether the conditions are better for electing Democrats or Republicans.^[8]	”
—Pew Trusts^[10]

“	Now that Washington-style partisanship has seeped into statehouses, a trifecta may be necessary to get much done — whether the state is controlled by Democrats or by Republicans. “In this highly polarized partisan environment,” said Carl Klarner, a former Indiana State University political science associate professor and political consultant, “a party needs to control both chambers of the legislature and the governor’s office to significantly change the direction of policy.”^[8]	”
—The Gazette^[11]

“	Democrats made real gains in state government on Tuesday. The party nearly doubled its number of trifecta governments, where one party controls the executive branch in addition to each chamber of the state legislature. They now have total control in 13 states versus 21 Republican trifectas. Three other states now have divided legislatures, where one party controls one chamber but not the other. Other states, like Wisconsin, elected Democratic governors while Republicans retained control of state legislatures. The Democratic Party’s weaknesses in state government are legendary and have probably contributed to its weaknesses at the federal level. State government is an important pipeline to higher office, and as Stateline reported this week, Democrats lost 900 legislative seats during the Obama administration. In many states, ineffective local parties have prevented Democrats from blocking Republican bills, like those that undermine abortion rights, and from advancing their own legislation, like Medicaid expansion. But now in states with Democratic trifectas — or at least a significant number of lawmakers willing to work across the aisle — Democrats will have opportunities to implement their policies, and demonstrate their effectiveness to voters. Here are some issues they’re likely to focus on.^[8]	”
—New York Magazine^[12]

“	It is the stuff of liberal fantasies: a vast, defiant territory, sweeping along the country’s Pacific coastline, governed by Democrats and resisting President Trump at every turn. A single election in a wealthy Seattle suburb on Tuesday could make that scenario a reality, handing the party full control of government in Washington State — and extinguishing Republicans’ last fragile claim on power on the West Coast. The region has been a rare Democratic stronghold on an electoral map now dominated by vast swaths of red, and Republicans’ only toehold on power there has been a one-seat majority in the Washington State Senate. The prospect of such far-reaching autonomy for Democrats, who already hold all three governors’ offices as well as both houses of the legislatures in Oregon and California, has infused extraordinary energy into what might have been a low-key special election.^[8]	”
—The New York Times^[13]

Trifectas and triplexes

See also: State government trifectas and triplexes

A state government triplex is a term to describe when one political party holds the following three positions in a state's government: governor, attorney general, and secretary of state.^[14]

As of April 19, 2024, there are 23 states with both a Republican trifecta and triplex, 17 states with both a Democratic trifecta and triplex, and 10 whose trifecta and triplex statuses are different.

Currently, 40 of the 50 states have a trifecta and a triplex of the same party.
