Question

Accepted Answer

As of January 2026, Republicans control 57 state legislative chambers while Democrats hold 39. Republicans also control 55.38% of all state legislative seats nationally compared to Democrats' 43.37%. This imbalance built over years of GOP investment in state races—often called the "REDMAP" strategy after 2010. State legislatures draw congressional maps, set voting rules, and control abortion policy, making this power gap consequential for national politics.
