The 2020 United States elections are scheduled for Tuesday, November 3, 2020. All 435 seats in the United States House of Representatives, 35 of the 100 seats in the United States Senate, and the office of president of the United States will be contested. Thirteen state and territorial governorships, as well as numerous other state and local elections, will also be contested.

Both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party nominated their respective presidential tickets at party conventions held in late August. Incumbent president Donald Trump is the Republican nominee, and had few opponents in the 2020 Republican Party presidential primaries. Joe Biden is the Democratic Party's nominee after securing a majority of delegates in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries. Various third party and independent candidates, including Jo Jorgensen of the Libertarian Party and Howie Hawkins of the Green Party, are also seeking the presidency.

Democrats have held a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives since the 2018 elections, while Republicans have held control of the U.S. Senate since the 2014 elections. Barring vacancies and party-switching, Democrats will enter the election with control of approximately 232 of the 435 seats in the House of Representatives,[a] while Republicans will enter the 2020 elections with control of 53 of the 100 seats in the Senate. All 33 Class 2 senators are up for election, and two states (Georgia and Arizona) are holding special elections for the Senate. The six non-voting congressional delegates from the District of Columbia and the permanently inhabited U.S. territories will also be elected.

Regularly-scheduled elections will be held in 86 of the 99 state legislative chambers, and eleven states will hold gubernatorial elections. Various other state executive and judicial elections will also occur. The outcome of these state elections will have a major impact on the redistricting cycle that will take place following the 2020 United States Census. Various referendums, tribal elections, and local elections, including numerous mayoral races, will also take place in 2020.

Federal elections

[edit]

Presidential election

[edit]

The U.S. presidential election of 2020 will be the 59th quadrennial U.S. presidential election. The individual who wins a majority of the presidential electoral vote (270 of the 538 electoral votes) will win election to a term lasting from January 20, 2021 to January 20, 2025. If no individual wins a majority of the electoral vote, then the United States House of Representatives will hold a contingent election to determine the winner.[b] Each presidential elector is chosen by the states, and is charged with casting one vote for president and one vote for vice president. Most states award all their electoral votes to the individual who wins a majority or plurality of that state's popular vote, although two states award electors by congressional districts. The vice president is selected in a similar manner, though a contingent election will be held in the United States Senate if no individual receives a majority of the vice presidential electoral vote.

Incumbent Republican president Donald Trump won re-nomination after facing token opposition in the 2020 Republican primaries.[1][2] The Republican Party also re-nominated Vice President Mike Pence as Trump's running mate for the 2020 election. The Democratic Party, the other major party in the United States, has nominated former vice president Joe Biden for president and Senator Kamala Harris of California for vice president. Biden became the party's presumptive nominee in early April 2020 after Bernie Sanders withdrew from the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries.[3] Along with Biden and Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Michael Bloomberg, Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, and Tulsi Gabbard all won at least one delegate in the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries.[4]

Various third parties and independent candidates are also seeking the presidency. The respective presidential candidates of two third parties, the Libertarian Party and the Green Party, won at least one percent of the national popular vote in 2016. For the 2020 election, the Libertarian Party has nominated a ticket consisting of Jo Jorgensen and Spike Cohen, while the Green Party has nominated a ticket consisting of Howie Hawkins and Angela Nicole Walker. Other presidential candidates include Don Blankenship of the Constitution Party, Rocky De La Fuente of the Alliance Party, Gloria La Riva of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, Brian T. Carroll of the American Solidarity Party, independent candidate Brock Pierce, and rapper Kanye West, who is affiliated with the Birthday Party.[5]

At least 35 of the 100 seats in the United States Senate will be up for election. All seats of Senate Class II will be up for election; the winners of those elections will serve six-year terms. Additionally, Arizona and Georgia will hold special elections to fill Class III Senate vacancies; the winners of those elections will serve two-year terms. Other states may also hold special elections if vacancies arise.

Republicans won control of the Senate in the 2014 Senate elections and retained that majority through the 2016 and 2018 Senate elections. Republicans currently hold 53 Senate seats, while Democrats hold 45 seats, and independents hold two seats. Both independents have caucused with the Democratic Party since joining the Senate. Barring further vacancies or party switching, 21 Republican-held seats, along with 12 Democratic-held seats, will be up for election. If they win the vice presidency, Democrats will need to achieve a net gain of at least three seats to take the majority; otherwise, they will need to achieve a net gain of at least four seats to take the majority.

House of Representatives elections

[edit]

All 435 voting seats in the United States House of Representatives will be up for election; 218 seats are necessary for a majority. The winners of each race will serve a two-year term.

Democrats gained control of the House of Representatives in the 2018 elections, winning 235 seats compared to 199 seats for Republicans.[d] Due to vacancies and party-switching that have occurred since the 2018 elections, Democrats currently hold 232 seats, compared to 198 seats held by Republicans and one seat, that of Justin Amash, held by the Libertarian Party. Depending on potential future vacancies and party switching, Republicans will need a net gain of approximately twenty seats to take control of the House of Representatives.

Special elections
[edit]

Four special elections have been held in 2020 to replace a member who resigned or died in office during the 116th U.S. Congress:

Elections will be held for the governorships of 11 U.S. states and two U.S. territories. Special elections may be held for vacancies in the other states and territories, if required by respective state and territorial constitutions. Most elections will be for four-year terms, but the governors of New Hampshire and Vermont each serve two-year terms. Barring vacancies and party switching, Republicans will be defending seven seats, while Democrats will be defending six seats.

Legislative elections

[edit]
Partisan control of state and territorial governments prior to the 2020 elections:
  Democratic trifecta-no elections in 2020
  Democratic trifecta up for election
  Republican trifecta-no elections in 2020
  Republican trifecta up for election
  Divided government up for election
  Divided government guaranteed after election
  PNP trifecta up for election
  Officially non-partisan legislature

Regularly-scheduled elections will be held in 86 of the 99 state legislative chambers in the United States; nationwide, regularly-scheduled elections will be held for 5,876 of the 7,383 legislative seats. Many legislative chambers will see all legislative seats up for election, but some legislative chambers that use staggered elections will hold elections for only a portion of the total seats in the chamber.[f] Although most states will hold regularly-scheduled elections for both legislative chambers, Alabama, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey and Virginia will not hold state legislative elections, and Michigan will hold elections only for the lower house.[e] Nebraska, the only state that does not have a bicameral state legislature, will hold elections for half of the seats in its lone legislative chamber.[16]

Following the 2019 elections, Democrats have 15 trifectas (control of the governor's office and both legislative chambers), Republicans have 20 trifectas, and 14 states have a divided government. Nebraska, which has an officially non-partisan legislature, is not included in this tally.[17][18] Nationwide, Republicans control approximately 60 percent of the legislative chambers and 52 percent of the legislative seats.[19]

Other state elections

[edit]

In 2020, 82 state supreme court seats are up for election in 35 states. This constitutes 24 percent of all state supreme court seats in the country. Various other state courts will also hold elections in 2020. Various state executive positions are also up for election in 2020.

Referendums and ballot measures

[edit]

During 2020, voters will consider a number of referendums, initiatives, ballot measures, and state constitutional amendments covering everything from Medicaid expansion to marijuana legalization to voting rights.[20] Since the death of George Floyd, at least 20 ballot measures in several states have added police-related measures. The states with these measures include California, Illinois, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington.[21]

  • Alabama, Colorado, and Florida voters will consider constitutional amendments narrowing the right to vote in any elections by replacing language in the state constitution stating "every citizen" has the right to vote with "only a citizen."
  • In Alaska, Ballot Measure 2 would replace partisan primaries with top-four open primaries and ranked choice voting general elections, among other election law changes. Massachusetts voters will also consider implementing ranked-choice voting on ballot Question 2.
  • In Arizona, Proposition 207 will be on the ballot to legalize recreational marijuana.
  • In California, Proposition 25, a veto referendum funded by the American Bail Coalition PAC, will decide whether to uphold SB10, which replaces cash bail with risk assessments for suspects who are detained in jail awaiting trial.
  • A veto referendum in Colorado will decide whether to allow the state to resume its suspended membership in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact or retain its membership in the Electoral College in presidential elections.
  • Georgia will have two proposed constitutional amendments and one statewide referendum (HB 164, HR 1023, and HB 344). HB 164 aims to make funds collected from taxes and fees be used for their intended projects.[22] If passed, HR 1023 will give citizens the ability to challenge the state, local and other public entities if a law is unconstitutional and gain relief from the state by allowing sovereign immunity to be waived.[23] HB 344 will exempt affordable housing charities such as Habitat for Humanity from paying property taxes.[24]
  • Illinois voters will vote on the Illinois Fair Tax, a proposed state amendment which, if passed, that would change the state income tax system from a flat tax to a graduated income tax.[25][26]
  • A Maine veto referendum sought to overturn a new law which eliminates religious and philosophical exemptions from mandatory vaccinations for K-12 and college students and employees of healthcare facilities. It failed by a wide margin on the March primary ballot.
  • A Maryland ballot measure would approve sports betting in the state.
  • The legalization of medical marijuana will be on the ballot in Nebraska, Mississippi and South Dakota (recreational marijuana is also on the ballot in South Dakota), and a legislatively-referred ballot question in New Jersey will allow voters to decide on legalization of recreational cannabis.
  • Mississippi voters will also vote up or down a new state flag.
  • Missouri and Oklahoma voted in ballot initiatives to amend their state constitutions to expand Medicaid under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
  • Montana voters will vote on recreational marijuana via an initiative.
  • Constitutional amendments to remove penal exceptions from state constitutions will be on the ballot in Nebraska and Utah.
  • Puerto Rico will hold a non-binding referendum on statehood.[27]
  • Voters in Rhode Island will consider removing "and Providence Plantations" from the state's official name.[28]

Impact on redistricting

[edit]

Following the 2020 United States Census, the state delegations to the U.S. House of Representatives will undergo reapportionment, and both the U.S. House of Representatives and the state legislatures will undergo redistricting. In states without redistricting commissions, the legislators and governors elected between 2017 and 2020 will draw the new congressional and state legislative districts that will take effect starting with the 2022 elections. State supreme courts can also have a significant effect on redistricting, as demonstrated in states such as Pennsylvania and Virginia. Thus the 2020 elections could have a significant impact on the 2020 United States redistricting cycle. Barring court orders or mid-decade redistricting, the districts drawn in the redistricting cycle will remain in place until the next round of redistricting begins in 2030.[29][30]

Territorial elections

[edit]

The U.S. territories of American Samoa and Puerto Rico are holding gubernatorial and legislative elections in 2020, while Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are holding legislative elections. Along with Washington, D.C., each territory is also holding elections for a non-voting delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives. All non-voting delegates serve two-year terms, with the exception of the Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico, a non-voting position with a four-year term. The five territories also took part in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries and the 2020 Republican Party presidential primaries.

Local elections

[edit]

Mayoral elections

[edit]

Since the beginning of 2020, various major cities have seen incumbent mayors re-elected, including Bakersfield, California (Karen Goh);[31] Chesapeake (David West),[32] Fairfax City (David Meyer),[32] Fredericksburg (Mary Katherine Greenlaw),[32] and Hampton, Virginia (Donnie Tuck);[32] Milwaukee, Wisconsin (Tom Barrett);[33] and Sacramento, California (Darrell Steinberg).[34] In Norfolk, Virginia, Mayor Kenny Alexander was unopposed in seeking reelection.[32] In Tulsa, Oklahoma, incumbent mayor G. T. Bynum earned reelection by winning an outright majority in the August primary.[35] An open mayoral seat was won in Fresno, California, by Jerry Dyer.[36]

Mayoral elections remain to be held in many cities, including:[37]

Other elections and referendums

[edit]

Tribal elections

[edit]

A number of Native American tribal governments held elections for tribal leadership in 2020. As with other elections in the country, the coronavirus pandemic disrupted many elections, delaying primaries and shifting some voting from in-person to postal.

The Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation reelected President Bernadine Burnette;[43] the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians reelected Tribal Chairman Aaron A. Payment;[44] Oneida Nation of Wisconsin reelected Chairman Tehassi Hill;[45] the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa reelected Tribal Chair Cathy Chavers;[46] the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes relected President Terri Parton;[47] and incumbent Tribal Chief Donald (Doc) Slyter was unopposed in seeking reelection to lead the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians.[48] Stephanie Bryan, the first woman to serve as chair of the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, also won reelection.[49] The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community elected Keith Anderson tribal chairman, replacing the retiring Charlie Vig.[50]

Kristopher Peters was elected Squaxin Island Tribe tribal council chairman, defeating incumbent Arnold Cooper,[51] and Joseph Tali Byrd defeated long-time Quapaw Nation Business Committee Chairman John Berrey.[52] Durell Cooper defeated incumbent Apache Tribe of Oklahoma Tribal Chairman Bobby Komardley.[53] Walter R. Echo-Hawk was unopposed in a special election for president of the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma Business Council[54] following the April 2020 recall of the prior president, James Whiteshirt.[55]

Three Minnesota Chippewa Tribe bands had candidates win more than 50% of the votes in June primaries, eliminating the need for a general election: Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe incumbent tribal chair Faron Jackson Sr.,[56] White Earth Nation incumbent chief executive Michael Fairbanks,[57] and, on the Grand Portage Indian Reservation, challenger Bobby Deschampe, who defeated incumbent tribal chair Beth Drost.[58]

Scheduled elections include:

  • Crow Tribe of Montana: November 7, 2020[59] Incumbent Chairman Alvin Not Afraid Jr. faces Crow Nation senator Frank White Clay.
  • Oglala Lakota Tribe: November 3, 2020[60] One-term incumbent president Julian Running Bear, who survived an impeachment effort in September,[61] was defeated in the October primary; former South Dakota state senator Kevin Killer and former tribal president John Yellow Bird Steele advanced to the general election.[62]
  • United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians: November 2, 2020. Incumbent Tribal Chief Joe Bunch, who was impeached but not removed from office in January 2020,[63] faces four challengers.[64]

Tribal referendums

[edit]

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic

[edit]
California Governor Gavin Newsom speaks about the decision to sign an executive order requiring mail in voting in the 2020 November election.

Starting in March 2020, elections across the United States were delayed and disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Numerous states delayed presidential primaries, while Alabama delayed the Republican primary Senatorial run-off and North Carolina and Mississippi delayed Republican primary run-off for congressional seats.[68] Iowa, Missouri, South Carolina, and Texas all delayed municipal elections, and in New York City the special election for Queens borough president was cancelled.[69] The pandemic also led to the postponement of the 2020 Democratic National Convention, and both the 2020 Democratic National Convention and the 2020 Republican National Convention were held virtually.[70]

To help enforce social distancing, many states expanded absentee and vote-by-mail options for 2020 primary elections and the November general elections.[71] Several elections, including Democratic primaries in Alaska and Hawaiʻi, as well as the Maryland 7th congressional district special election, were conducted entirely with mail-in ballots only.[69]

Turnout

[edit]

With many states easing rules on early voting in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 election saw an unprecedented rate of early voting.[72] By October 26, with eight days remaining until the election, the total early vote throughout the United States had eclipsed that of 2016.[73] By October 30, two states, Hawaii and Texas, had each surpassed their cumulative turnout for the 2016 election.[74] Democrats disproportionately indicated their intention to vote by mail, while Republicans disproportionately indicated their intent to vote in person.[72]

Public perceptions and analysis

[edit]

In a poll conducted in February 2020, 59% of respondents expressed confidence in the "honesty of U.S. elections".[75] In an August 2020 survey, 49% of respondents said that they expect voting to be "difficult", up from 15% in 2018; 75% of Republicans, but less than half of Democrats were confident that the elections "will be conducted fairly and accurately".[76] In a October 2020 survey, 47% of respondents disagreed with the statement that the election "is likely to be fair and honest", 51% would not "generally agree on who is the legitimately elected president of the United States";[77] 56% said that they expect "an increase in violence as a result of the election".[77] 49% of college students polled in September 2020 said that the elections won't be "fair and open", 55% that "it will not be administered well", and 81% that "special interest groups have more influence over election outcomes than voters".[78]

According to an October 2020 poll, eight out of ten Americans consider misinformation a "major problem",[79] Biden supporters were more likely than Trump supporters to trust the news media and their candidate's messaging.[79][80]

Historian Timothy Snyder, an expert on authoritarianism, said that "it's important not to talk about this as just an election. It's an election surrounded by the authoritarian language of a coup d'etat. [...] [Trump] seems pretty sure he won't win the election, [but] he doesn't want to leave office." According to Snyder, in order to overcome Trump's "authoritarian's instinct", the opposition "has to win the election and it has to win the aftermath of the election."[81]

Issues

[edit]

During the 2020 election campaign, the most prominent issues were the COVID-19 pandemic, health care, economy, race, and abortion.[82] Democrats emphasized coronavirus economic relief and public health measures such as contact tracing, face mask usage, and social distancing, whereas Republican downplayed the coronavirus,[83] scuttled coronavirus economic relief negotiations in the lead-up to the election,[84][85] and advocated for laxer public health measures to deal with the spread of the coronavirus.[86] Trump himself held events across the country, including in coronavirus hotspots, where attendees did not wear masks and were not socially distancing; at the same time, he mocked those who wore face masks.[87][88][89]

The Republican Party opted not to provide a comprehensive platform of its policy positions for the election; the 2020 platform was a one-page resolution which stated that the party "has and will continue to enthusiastically support the president's America-first agenda."[90] Democrats ran on protecting and expanding the Affordable Care Act, while criticizing Republicans for jeopardizing protections for individuals with preexisting conditions.[91][92] Republicans generally did not emphasize health care issues, as their opposition to the Affordable Care Act had become a political liability by 2020, as the legislation had grown in popularity.[92][93]

On the environment, Democrats proposed plans to combat climate change, including through investments in renewable energy and rejoining the Paris Climate Accords, whereas Republicans emphasized increased production of oil and natural gas.[94]

During the election campaign, Democrats made calls for criminal justice reform and spoke of a need to reduce systemic racism in the criminal justice system.[95][96] Republicans ran on a "law and order" and pro-police messaging, while arguing that Democrats held extreme and radical views on criminal justice.[97][98]

The rhetoric of Trump and his allies during the election was widely described as full of falsehoods and unfounded conspiracy theories.[99][100][101] In the lead-up to the elections, Republicans attacked voting rights and spread falsehoods about voter fraud.[102][103][104][105] Trump refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power in case he lost the election.[106]

Table of state, territorial, and federal results

[edit]

This table shows the partisan results of president, congressional, gubernatorial, and state legislative races held in each state and territory in 2020. Note that not all states and territories hold gubernatorial, state legislative, and U.S. Senate elections in 2018. The five territories and Washington, D.C., do not elect members of the U.S. Senate, and the territories do not take part in presidential elections; instead they each elect one non-voting member of the House. Nebraska's unicameral legislature and the governorship and legislature of American Samoa are officially non-partisan. In the table, offices/legislatures that are not up for election in 2020 are already filled in for the "after 2020 elections" section, although vacancies or party switching could potentially lead to a flip in partisan control.

The 2020 United States Senate elections will be held on November 3, 2020,[109] with the 33 class 2 seats of the Senate being contested in regular elections.[110] The winners will be elected to six-year terms extending from January 3, 2021, to January 3, 2027.[111] There will also be two special elections: one in Arizona to fill the vacancy created by the death of John McCain in 2018 and one in Georgia following the resignation of Johnny Isakson at the end of 2019.[112][113]

In the 2014 United States Senate elections (the last regularly scheduled elections for class 2 Senate seats), the Republicans won nine seats from the Democrats and gained a majority in the Senate.[114] Republicans defended that majority in 2016[115] and 2018, and now hold 53 Senate seats. Democrats hold 45 seats, and independents caucusing with the Democratic Party hold two seats.[116]

Including the special elections in Arizona and Georgia, Republicans will be defending 23 seats in 2020, while the Democratic Party will be defending 12 seats.[117] Democrats will need to pick up three or four seats to gain a majority, depending on which party wins control of the vice presidency.[p][118]

Change in composition

[edit]

Republicans are defending 23 seats and Democrats 12.[117] Each block represents one of the 100 Senate seats. "D#" is a Democratic senator, "I#" is an Independent senator, and "R#" is a Republican senator. They are arranged so that the parties are separated and a majority is clear by crossing the middle.

Before the elections

[edit]

Each block indicates an incumbent senator's actions going into the election. Both Independents caucus with the Democrats.

Predictions

[edit]

Several sites and individuals publish predictions of competitive seats. These predictions look at factors such as the strength of the incumbent (if the incumbent is running for reelection) and the other candidates, and the state's partisan lean (reflected in part by the state's Cook Partisan Voting Index rating). The predictions assign ratings to each seat, indicating the predicted advantage that a party has in winning that seat.

Most election predictors use:

  • "tossup": no advantage
  • "tilt" (used by some predictors): advantage that is not quite as strong as "lean"
  • "lean": slight advantage
  • "likely": significant, but surmountable, advantage
  • "safe" or "solid": near-certain chance of victory

Alabama

Alabama election

 
Nominee Doug Jones Tommy Tuberville

Incumbent U.S. senator

Doug Jones
Democratic



Incumbent Democrat Doug Jones was elected in a special election in 2017, narrowly defeating Republican nominee Roy Moore. Jones is running for his first full term as a senator.[226][227]

Former Auburn University football head coach Tommy Tuberville defeated former senator and attorney general Jeff Sessions in a July 14 runoff to secure the Republican nomination. Sessions occupied the seat until 2017 when he resigned to become attorney general in the Trump administration.

Defeated in the March 3 Republican primary were 2017 Republican nominee Roy Moore, evangelist Stanley Adair,[228] Representative Bradley Byrne,[229] state representative Arnold Mooney,[230] and community activist Ruth Page Nelson.[231]

Alabama is one of the country's most Republican states and Jones's win was in part due to sexual assault allegations against Moore during the special election. Most analysts expect the seat to flip back to GOP control as Jones faces much stronger opposition from Tuberville. Despite some competitive polling, many in the Democratic establishment see Jones's seat as a lost cause.[232]

Republican Dan Sullivan was elected in 2014, defeating incumbent Democrat Mark Begich. He is running for a second term.[233]

Potential Democratic candidates included Begich, who was the Democratic nominee for governor of Alaska in 2018, and Anchorage mayor Ethan Berkowitz, who was the Democratic nominee for governor of Alaska in 2010. One Democrat, Edgar Blatchford, filed to run by the June 1 filing deadline.[183]

On July 2, 2019, Al Gross an orthopedic surgeon and fisherman, declared his candidacy as an Independent.[234] In a joint primary for the Alaska Democratic Party, Alaska Libertarian Party and Alaskan Independence Party, he won the nomination as an independent supported by the Democratic Party.

Incumbent U.S. senator

Martha McSally
Republican



Republican senator John McCain was elected to a sixth term in 2016, but died in office in August 2018.[235] Republican governor Doug Ducey appointed former senator Jon Kyl to fill the seat temporarily.[236] After Kyl stepped down at the end of the year, Ducey appointed outgoing U.S. Representative Martha McSally to replace him.[237] McSally is running in the 2020 special election to fill the remaining two years of the term.[238]

Retired astronaut Mark Kelly won the Democratic nomination.[239]

Once a solidly Republican state, Arizona has trended more purple in recent years. Incumbent Republican Martha McSally was appointed to the late John McCain's seat two months after losing the 2018 Arizona U.S. Senate election to Democrat Kyrsten Sinema. Her Democratic opponent, astronaut Mark Kelly (who is married to former representative Gabrielle Giffords), has raised significantly more money and generally leads her by 5-15 points in the polling. McSally is also suffering from low approval ratings due to her strong allegiance to Trump, who is unpopular in Arizona despite winning the state by 3.5 points in 2016.[240]

Republican Tom Cotton was elected in 2014 after serving two years in the United States House of Representatives, defeating incumbent Democratic senator Mark Pryor by a comfortable margin. Cotton is seeking a second term.[241]

Joshua Mahony, a nonprofit executive and 2018 Democratic nominee for Congress in Arkansas's 3rd congressional district, filed to run for the Democratic nomination,[242] but dropped out just after the filing deadline.[243] No other Democrats filed within the filing deadline. Progressive activist Dan Whitfield ran as an independent but suspended his campaign on October 1, 2020, after failing to qualify for the ballot.[244]

Christian missionary Ricky Dale Harrington Jr. is running as the Libertarian nominee.[245]

Republican Cory Gardner was elected in 2014 after serving four years in the United States House of Representatives, narrowly defeating one-term Democrat Mark Udall. Gardner is seeking a second term.[246]

Former Colorado governor John Hickenlooper is the Democratic nominee and generally leads Gardner by 10-20 points in the polls, with many pundits already considering him a favorite to win. Gardner is Colorado's only Republican statewide officeholder, and the once purple state has trended increasingly Democratic since Gardner's narrow win in 2014. Gardner also has low approval ratings due to his strong allegiance to President Donald Trump, who lost Colorado in 2016 to Hillary Clinton by 4.9%.[247][248] Hickenlooper has raised significantly more money than Gardner, as well.[249]

Democrat Chris Coons was reelected in 2014; he first took office after winning a 2010 special election, which occurred after longtime senator Joe Biden resigned to become vice president of the United States. He faced a primary challenge from technology executive Jessica Scarane. Conservative activist Lauren Witzke and attorney Jim DeMartino ran for the Republican nomination.

The Delaware primary was held on September 15, 2020.[250]

Georgia (Regular & Special)

[edit]

Due to the resignation of Republican senator Johnny Isakson at the end of 2019, both of Georgia's seats will be up for election this year. While the state overall still leans Republican, increased support for Democrats in Atlanta's suburbs has made the state more competitive, with a close governor's race, multiple close U.S. House races, and many other close local office races resulting in Democratic gains in 2018. Both elections are seen as competitive.

In the regular election, incumbent Republican David Perdue will face Democrat Jon Ossoff, who won national name recognition while losing the most expensive House race in U.S. history in 2017.

Republican David Perdue was elected in 2014. He is seeking a second term.[251]

Former Columbus mayor Teresa Tomlinson and[252] 2018 lieutenant governor nominee Sarah Riggs Amico[253] lost the Democratic nomination to former congressional candidate Jon Ossoff, a documentary film producer and investigative journalist.[254] (Other potential Democratic candidates who did not run included former state senator Jason Carter and state representative Scott Holcomb.[251]) Ossoff will face Perdue in November.

Georgia (Special)

Georgia special election

Incumbent U.S. senator

Kelly Loeffler
Republican



Three-term Senator Johnny Isakson announced that he would resign from the Senate at the end of 2019, citing health concerns.[255] A "jungle primary" will be held November 3, 2020; a candidate earning a majority of votes cast will win, but if no candidate wins a majority, a runoff election between the top two finishers will be held January 5, 2021.[256] The winner of the special election will serve until the expiration of Isakson's term on January 3, 2023.

Georgia governor Brian Kemp appointed Republican Kelly Loeffler to replace Isakson until an election could be held; Loeffler took office on January 6, 2020, and will compete in the November 2020 election.[257] Other Republicans running for the seat include Wayne Johnson, former chief operating officer of the Office of Federal Student Aid,[258] and four-term U.S. representative Doug Collins.[259]

Unlike the regular election, the special election is being conducted as a jungle primary: all candidates are listed on the same ballot regardless of party affiliation, and if no candidate gets more than 50% of the vote, the top two will advance to a runoff on January 5, 2021. As in the regular election, there is a crowded field of Democratic candidates, but there is also a bitter contest on the Republican side between incumbent Kelly Loeffler, a businesswoman appointed to the seat after Isakson's resignation, and Doug Collins, a well-known U.S. representative. Collins remains close to Loeffler in the polls[260] due to allegations of insider trading against Loeffler.[261]

Democrats running for the seat include Raphael Warnock,[262][263] Matt Lieberman,[264] Ed Tarver,[265][266] and Richard Dien Winfield.[267] Prominent national Democrats and the Democratic National Senatorial Committee have endorsed Warnock.

Four-term Democrat Dick Durbin, the Senate minority whip, was reelected in 2014 and is seeking a fifth term.[269]

Mark Curran, who served as sheriff of Lake County from 2006 to 2018, won the Republican primary with 41.55% of the vote and will face Durbin in the general election.[270]

Antiwar activist Marilyn Jordan Lawlor[271] and state representative Anne Stava-Murray[272] were going to challenge Durbin in the Democratic primary, but both withdrew.[273][274]

Republicans who ran include businessman Casey Chlebek,[275] U.S. Navy veteran and former police officer Peggy Hubbard,[276] Vietnam War veteran, physician, and 2018 Democratic primary candidate for governor of Illinois Robert Marshall,[277][278] Omeed Memar,[279] a dermatologist convicted of health care fraud in 2018,[280] Preston Gabriel Nelson,[281] Dean Seppelfrick,[282] and Tom Tarter.[283]

Republican Joni Ernst was elected in 2014 after serving four years in the Iowa Senate. She is seeking a second term.[284]

Theresa Greenfield won the Democratic nomination, defeating former vice-admiral Michael T. Franken, attorney Kimberly Graham and businessman Eddie Mauro in the primary.

Ernst's popularity has dropped in the polls, allegedly due to support for Trump's trade tariffs that have impacted Iowa farmers. But Democrats have had a hard time winning statewide in Iowa in recent years, narrowly losing the governor's election in 2018. Trump won the state by 9 points in 2016 after Barack Obama carried it in both 2008 and 2012. Democrats do hold three of Iowa's four congressional seats, picking up two of them in 2018. Ernst and Greenfield, a first-time candidate, are polling neck-and-neck in the general election, but Greenfield lacks name recognition, despite raising more money than Ernst.[285]

Four-term Republican Pat Roberts is retiring and will not run for reelection.

Former secretary of state Kris Kobach,[286] state Turnpike Authority chairman (and former Kansas City Chief defensive end) Dave Lindstrom,[287] U.S. representative Roger Marshall, plumber/businessman Bob Hamilton, Kansas Board of Education member Steve Roberts,[288] state senate president Susan Wagle, and Republican socialist Brian Matlock all announced their candidacies.[289] Wagle later withdrew.

Other potential candidates (who ultimately did not run) included state attorney general Derek Schmidt and wealthy businessman and former 2018 lieutenant governor nominee Wink Hartman.

Kansas state treasurer Jake LaTurner[290] previously sought the nomination, but announced on September 3, 2019, that he would drop out of the Senate race to run for the U.S. House of Representatives.[291]

There was considerable speculation about a Senate bid by Mike Pompeo (the United States secretary of state, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency, and former U.S. representative for Kansas's 4th congressional district), but he did not run.[292][293]

Among Democrats, former Republican turned Democratic state senator Barbara Bollier ran[294] and faced Robert Tillman, nominee for Kansas's 4th congressional district in 2012 and candidate in 2016 and 2017.[295]

Former U.S. attorney Barry Grissom,[296] mayor of Manhattan Usha Reddi,[297] and former congresswoman Nancy Boyda[298] announced runs, but withdrew before the primary. Former governor Kathleen Sebelius declined to run.

Marshall and Bollier won their primaries and will face off in the general election.[299]

Four-term Republican Susan Collins was reelected by a wide margin in 2014. She is seeking a fifth term.[302]

Independent Green candidate, educator and activist Lisa Savage. [303]

Democrats running included state House speaker Sara Gideon,[304] attorney Bre Kidman,[305] and activist and 2018 gubernatorial candidate Betsy Sweet.[306] Gideon won the nomination.

Collins is polling neck-and-neck with or slightly behind Gideon. She has never faced a competitive election during her 24 years in the Senate even though Maine leans Democratic, as she has projected a centrist image. But she faces growing unpopularity due to her increasingly conservative voting record and her votes to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court and to acquit Trump in his impeachment trial. Gideon raised over three times as much money as Collins in the first quarter of 2020.[307]

Joe Kennedy III, four-term U.S. representative for Massachusetts's Fourth District and grandson of former U.S. senator and U.S. attorney general Robert F. Kennedy, unsuccessfully challenged Markey for the Democratic nomination.[309]

Noted conspiracy theorist Shiva Ayyadurai, an independent candidate for U.S. Senate in 2018, unsuccessfully ran against attorney Kevin O'Connor for the Republican nomination.[310][311]

On August 24, 2020, perennial candidate Vermin Supreme launched a write-in campaign for the Libertarian nomination,[312] but received too few votes to qualify for the general election ballot.[313]

Hyde-Smith is running for a full term.[319] She was unopposed in the Republican primary.

Republican Steve Daines was elected in 2014 after serving two years in the United States House of Representatives. He is seeking a second term.[321]

Daines was opposed (prior to his nomination) in the Republican primary by hardware store manager Daniel Larson and former Democratic speaker of the Montana House of Representatives John Driscoll, who changed parties in 2020.[322]

Incumbent governor Steve Bullock won the Democratic nomination,[323] defeating nuclear engineer and U.S. Navy veteran John Mues.[324]

Libertarian and Green party candidates were set to appear on the general election ballot, but the Libertarians refused to nominate a replacement after their nominee withdrew and the Greens' nominee was disqualified.

Once seen as likely to remain in Republican hands, Daines's seat is now competitive due to Bullock's last-minute entry. Daines leads Bullock by single digits in the most recent polling, while Bullock raised more money than Daines. But Montana is expected to be safely Republican in the presidential election, meaning that Bullock is relying on Montana's history of ticket splitting, as he did in 2016 when he was reelected to a second gubernatorial term by 4 points despite Trump winning the state by 20 points. Montana also reelected Jon Tester, a Democrat, to the Senate in 2018, by 4 points. Daines was elected to a first term by a comfortable margin in 2014.[325]

Sasse defeated businessman and former Lancaster County Republican Party chair Matt Innis in the Republican primary with 75.2% of the vote.

Businessman and 2018 U.S. Senate candidate Chris Janicek won the Democratic primary with 30.7% of the vote, defeating six other candidates.

Libertarian candidate Gene Siadek will also appear on the general election ballot.

After the primary election, the Nebraska Democratic party withdrew its support from Janicek when allegations that he sexually harassed a campaign staffer emerged.[327] Janicek refused to leave the race despite the state party endorsing his former primary opponent, which led former Democratic Congressman Brad Ashford to announce a write-in campaign on August 23, 2020.[328][329] After Janicek vowed to remain in the race anyway, Ashford then withdrew on August 27, citing a lack of the time and resources necessary to run a U.S. Senate campaign.[330] The state Democratic Party subsequently threw its support behind long-time Nebraska activist Preston Love, Jr., who declared a write-in candidacy for the seat.[206][331]

Booker sought his party's nomination for President of the United States in 2020. Although the state allows him to simultaneously run for both president and the Senate, Booker suspended his presidential campaign on January 13, 2020, and confirmed his intention to seek a second Senate term.[337]

Republican candidates included engineer Hirsh Singh, 2018 Independent U.S. Senate candidate Tricia Flanagan, 2018 independent U.S. Senate candidate Natalie Lynn Rivera and Eugene Anagnos. The party ultimately nominated pharmacist, Georgetown University law professor, and attorney Rik Mehta.

Green Party candidate Madelyn Hoffman and two independent candidates will also appear on the general election ballot.

New Jersey has not elected a Republican senator since 1972, and all pundits expect Booker to be easily reelected.[338]

State senator Erica D. Smith, Mecklenburg County commissioner Trevor Fuller, and former state senator Cal Cunningham ran for the Democratic nomination.

On March 3, 2020, Tillis and Cunningham won their parties' primaries.[344]

The Libertarian Party and the Constitution Party have candidates on the general election ballot.

Tillis has grown unpopular among both centrist and conservative Republicans due to his inconsistent support of Trump. He also suffers from low name recognition, and North Carolina is trending more purple, electing a Democratic governor in 2016. Tillis will face Democrat Cal Cunningham in the general election. Cunningham leads slightly in the polls.[345]

Incumbent U.S. senator

Lindsey Graham
Republican



Three-term Republican Lindsey Graham was reelected in 2014 and is seeking a fourth term. He defeated three opponents in the June 9 Republican primary.[350]

After his primary opponents dropped out, former South Carolina Democratic Party chairman Jaime Harrison was unopposed for the Democratic nomination.

Bill Bledsoe won the Constitution Party nomination. On October 1, 2020, Bledsoe dropped out of the race and endorsed Graham, but he will remain on the ballot as required by state law.[351]

Despite the significant Republican lean of the state as a whole, polls indicate that the Senate election is competitive, with summer polling ranging from a tie to a modest advantage for Graham.[352][353] Graham's popularity has declined as a result of his close embrace of Trump, reversing his outspoken criticism of Trump in the 2016 campaign.[354][355]

Democrats MJ Hegar, an Air Force combat veteran who was the 2018 Democratic nominee for Texas's 31st congressional district,[365] and state senator Royce West were the top two vote-getters in a field of 13 candidates in the Democratic primary and advanced to a primary runoff election on July 14 to decide the nomination. Hegar prevailed.

The Green and Libertarian Parties will also appear on the general election ballot. Candidates from the Human Rights Party and the People over Politics Party and three independents failed to qualify.

Statewide races in Texas have been growing more competitive in recent years, and polling in August/September has shown Cornyn with a lead of 4-10 points over Hegar, with a significant fraction of the electorate still undecided.[366][367]

The 2020 United States House of Representatives elections will be held on November 3, 2020, with special elections throughout the year. Elections will be held to elect representatives from all 435 congressional districts across each of the 50 U.S. states. The six non-voting delegates from the District of Columbia and the inhabited U.S. territories will also be elected. Numerous other federal, state, and local elections, including the 2020 presidential election and the 2020 Senate elections, will also be held on this date. The winners of this election will serve in the 117th United States Congress, with seats apportioned among the states based on the 2010 United States Census. Democrats have held a majority in the House of Representatives since January 3, 2019 as a result of the 2018 elections, when they won 235 seats. To win a majority, Republicans would need a net gain of 21 seats.

The 2020 United States gubernatorial elections will be held on November 3, 2020, in 11 states and two territories. In addition, special elections may take place (depending on state law) if other gubernatorial seats are vacated. The previous gubernatorial elections for this group of states took place in 2016, except in New Hampshire and Vermont where governors only serve two-year terms and elected their current governors in 2018. Nine state governors are running for reelection,[ax] while Democrat Steve Bullock of Montana cannot run again due to term limits and Republican Gary Herbert of Utah is retiring.[431]

In addition to state gubernatorial elections, the territories of American Samoa and Puerto Rico are also holding elections for their governors. Puerto Rican governor Wanda Vázquez Garced lost the New Progressive primary to Pedro Pierluisi,[432] while Lolo Matalasi Moliga of American Samoa cannot run again due to term limits.[433]

The 2020 gubernatorial elections will take place concurrently with the presidential election, elections to the House of Representatives and Senate, and numerous state and local elections.

Predictions

[edit]

Montana is considered the most competitive race in this cycle and is rated a tossup by four of six major pundits. Incumbent Democratic governor Steve Bullock is term-limited, but his lieutenant governor, Mike Cooney, a longtime political figure in the state since 1977, is the Democratic nominee. The Republican nominee is Montana at-large congressman Greg Gianforte, who is a controversial figure because he was arrested for body-slamming a reporter the day of a 2017 special election. Gianforte also isn't from Montana.[434] The Bullock administration has an approval rating of 52% and a disapproval of 31%, according to a poll by the Morning Consult, meaning Cooney's election chances may be high in the otherwise solidly Republican state.[435] North Carolina is the next most competitive race, as it is a Republican-leaning swing state with a Democratic governor, Roy Cooper, meaning that Cooper faces a tough reelection. Cooper won his 2016 election by a mere 10,277 votes, or 0.22%.[436] However, most forecasters give the race a Democratic lean as Cooper has an approval rating of 59%.[437] Cooper has also lead most polls against his Republican challenger, Dan Forest, by an average of a 17-point lead, according to RealClearPolitics.[438]

Vermont and New Hampshire are both races that could have become competitive seeing as they are Democratic states with Republican governors in a presidential year. However, Republican incumbents Phil Scott of Vermont and Chris Sununu of New Hampshire are ranked among the most popular governors in the United States, and both races are rated likely to safe Republican. Both are viewed as centrists who attract Democratic and independent voters. Scott's challenger is David Zuckerman, the state's lieutenant governor, who is running on both the Democratic and Progressive nominations. Zuckerman has been endorsed by Vermont U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders. Sununu is running against New Hampshire Senate Majority Leader Dan Feltes.

In Missouri, Republican incumbent Mike Parson assumed office after the resignation of Eric Greitens due to sexual harassment and violations of campaign finance laws,[439] and his lack of name recognition and unpopularity could make his race against state auditor Nicole Galloway, Missouri's only Democratic statewide office holder, competitive, though most forecasters still rate the race as lean Republican due to Missouri's heavy Republican lean. West Virginia’s gubernatorial race was seen as safe for Republicans because the state heavily leans Republican, but forecasts rate it as likely Republican due to corruption allegations against incumbent Jim Justice[440][441][442] that have led to rising unpopularity. Justice will face centrist Democrat Ben Salango, who has been endorsed by U.S. Senator Joe Manchin and multiple local unions.[443]

The gubernatorial races for John Carney in Delaware and Jay Inslee in Washington are seen as safe for Democrats, while the races for Eric Holcomb in Indiana, Doug Burgum in North Dakota, and Spencer Cox in Utah are seen as safe for Republicans.

Several sites and individuals publish predictions of competitive seats. These predictions look at factors such as the strength of the incumbent (if the incumbent is running for re-election), the strength of the candidates, and the partisan leanings of the state (reflected in part by the state's Cook Partisan Voting Index rating). The predictions assign ratings to each seat, with the rating indicating the predicted advantage that a party has in winning that seat.

Most election predictors use:

  • "tossup": no advantage
  • "tilt" (used by some predictors): advantage that is not quite as strong as "lean"
  • "lean": slight advantage
  • "likely": significant, but surmountable, advantage
  • "safe": near-certain chance of victory

Two-term incumbent Democrat Steve Bullock is term-limited in 2020, making him the only incumbent governor in the United States (not counting U.S. territories) who is term-limited in that election year. This means that this is an open seat election, and this race is the most competitive of this year's gubernatorial elections. Bullock's lieutenant governor, Mike Cooney, a longtime local politician, is the Democratic nominee, defeating businesswoman and daughter of former U.S. representative Pat Williams, Whitney Williams, in the Democratic primary.[434][475][476] Cooney's running mate is Minority Leader of the Montana House of Representatives, Casey Schreiner. The Republican nominee is Montana's at-large congressman Greg Gianforte, who defeated Attorney General Tim Fox and State Senator from the 6th district, Albert Olszewski.[434][477][478][479] Gianforte's running mate is Kristen Juras, a businesswoman and attorney.[480] Gianforte is a controversial figure, as he was arrested for body slamming a reporter the day of a 2017 special election, and he is an out-of-state businessman.

New Hampshire is one of two states, alongside Vermont, that has two-year terms for their governors instead of four-year terms, meaning they held their gubernatorial latest elections in 2018. In December 2019, two-term incumbent Republican Chris Sununu announced that he would run for a third two-year term in 2020, ending speculation he would choose to run for the U.S. Senate instead. Sununu easily defeated Franklin city counselor Karen Testerman in the Republican primary.[482][483] In a hotly contested Democratic primary, Majority Leader of the New Hampshire Senate Dan Feltes narrowly defeated Andru Volinsky, a member of the Executive Council of New Hampshire from the 2nd district.[484][485][486][487] The primaries took place on September 8.

Cox's running mate for Lieutenant Governor is Utah Senator from the 7th district, Deidre Henderson. Meanwhile, University of Utah law professor Christopher Peterson won a landslide victory of delegates at the Utah Democratic Convention, immediately awarding him with the Democratic nomination alongside his running mate, community organizer Karina Brown.[497][498][499]

Two-term incumbent Republican Phil Scott has confirmed he is seeking a third term in 2020. However, he is not campaigning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the handling of which so far has awarded Scott with a 75% approval rating.[503] Scott was re-elected with 55% of the vote in 2018. Scott is a heavy critic of President Donald Trump, who holds a net negative 39% disapproval rating in the Green Mountain State.[504][505] He is one of the last remaining liberal Republican politicians with center-left political leanings, and remains an outlier in the otherwise staunchly Democratic state.[506][507] Scott defeated multiple challengers in the Republican primary, the most prominent of which was lawyer and pastor John Klar.[508] Lieutenant Governor David Zuckerman defeated former education secretary Rebecca Holcombe in the Democratic primary.[509] He also defeated Cris Ericson and Boots Wardinski in the Vermont Progressive Party primary, despite only being recognized as a write-in candidate. Zuckerman has been endorsed by U.S. Senator from Vermont Bernie Sanders, the most popular senator amongst his constituents in the country.[510][511] Zuckerman chose to run under the Progressive Party ballot line in the general election, listing the Democratic Party as a secondary nomination, utilizing Vermont's electoral fusion system. Primary elections were held on August 11.

Two-term incumbent Democrat Jay Inslee is eligible to run for re-election in 2020, as Washington does not have gubernatorial term limits. Inslee is running for re-election to a third term after dropping out of the Democratic presidential primaries on August 21, 2019.[513][514] He will face police chief of the city of Republic, Washington, Loren Culp.[515] A top-two, jungle primary took place on August 4, meaning that all candidates appeared on the same ballot regardless of party affiliation and the top two (Inslee and Culp) are advancing to the general election in November. Washington is one of two states in the country, alongside California and Louisiana (and Nebraska for statewide offices), that holds jungle primaries rather than conventional ones.[516]

Incumbent Governor

Jim Justice
Republican



One-term incumbent Republican Jim Justice is running for re-election in 2020. Justice was elected as a Democrat, but later switched to the Republican Party, making him the first Republican governor since Cecil H. Underwood elected from 1997 until 2001.[518] Justice will face centrist Democrat Ben Salango, who has been endorsed by U.S. Senator Joe Manchin. Primaries were held on June 9, with Justice defeating former West Virginia Secretary of Commerce Woody Thrasher and former member of the West Virginia House of Delegates from the 63rd district, Mike Folk, by a large margin. Meanwhile, Salango won by a slim margin in a hotly contested Democratic primary between Salango and community organizer Stephen Smith,[519] businessman Jody Murphy,[520] and Douglas Hughes.

Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, retired Olympic gymnast Mary Lou Retton,[518] and Secretary of State Mac Warner were mentioned as potential general election challengers, prior to Justice's decision to re-join the Republican Party.
