Governor Races Updates and Final Predictions

With over two weeks to go, it is possible that my take on these races will change, but that is pretty unlikely. So here is the rundown, and here is what I will predict-

Current total:

28 Democrats
22 Republicans

Holdover Tally:

22 Democrats
17 Republicans

DE- Safe Democrat (change from Leans Democrat)
IN -Leans Republican
MO- Likely Democrat (change from Leans Democrat)
MT- Safe Democrat
NH- Safe Democrat
NC- Tossup (R)
ND- Safe Republican
UT- Safe Republican
VT- Likely Republican
WA- Tossup (D)
WV- Safe D

Predicted total:

28 Democrats
22 Republicans

No change

So, with only two races really competitive, it looks like we would simply see Missouri and North Carolina swap parties. The odds certainly though for Democrats to also keep North Carolina though and gain one Governorship. The Republicans have a shot at picking up a net of one Governorship if they win both North Carolina and Washington.
