Arizona Democrats have won the State Senate and State House of Representatives, according to The Associated Press. Coupled with Gov. Katie Hobbs’s re-election victory, Democrats will now have a trifecta — both legislative chambers and the governor’s office — for the first time since the mid-1960s. In fact, the Democrats have not had an outright majority in any legislative chamber in Arizona since the early 1990s.

Democrats are now claiming their victories include a majority of all statehouse seats across the country.
More than 500 seats in state legislatures were flipped blue in Tuesday’s midterms, according to the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, the arm of the party focused on state-level races.
Democrats have new trifectas — control of the governor’s office and both statehouse chambers — in at least Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. That puts the party in a powerful position to pass state laws.
REALIGNMENT TIME!
