Democrats made major gains in state legislatures, adding 258 seats, flipping 11 chambers, breaking Republican supermajorities in 10 states and creating six new governing trifectas, according to Chaz Nuttycombe; counting was still underway.

Analysts called the shift the most consequential change in state legislative power since the Republican wave of 2010, and said Democrats now hold more state-level power than at any point in the 21st century.

The article linked Republican losses to dissatisfaction with Donald Trump and the economy, as well as broader anti-incumbent sentiment.

Democrats regained control in Arizona, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, captured the Texas state house for the first time since 2002, and restored governing trifectas in Michigan and Minnesota.

In North Carolina, Democrats won the state house and narrowed the Republican Senate majority, ending Republicans’ supermajorities and ability to override the governor, though Republicans will retain a check on Democratic power.

Democrats also won governorships in Georgia, Iowa, Nevada, Ohio and Texas, giving the party a majority of governorships for the first time since 2010; Nuttycombe projected that about 76% of Americans would live under a Democratic governor and roughly half would have a Democratic state legislator.

With greater state-level power, Democrats may pursue policies such as raising the minimum wage, protecting abortion access, expanding health care and free school meals, and addressing climate change and immigration enforcement.

In Wisconsin, incoming Democratic state assembly leader Greta Neubauer said Democrats would consider redistricting to counter maps that favor Republicans, along with expanding Medicaid or other public health care and access to free school meals.
