However, with President Joe Biden seeing falling polling numbers and Democrats lining up behind him to enact far-left policies nationwide, the Republicans, more specifically the RGA, are looking to use that to their advantage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the prerogative of the out party to blame incumbents for things that are going wrong, and Republicans don\u2019t hesitate in blaming President Biden and other Democrats for inflation, rising gas prices, and crime,\u201d\u00a0<em>Governing <\/em>wrote<em>. <\/em>\u201cIn recent midterms, usually just one or two governors have lost their jobs in general elections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although incumbents and previously elected officials typically have the upper hand, as a preview to this year\u2019s election, Republicans swept\u00a0Virginia\u2019s\u00a0executive offices last November with Gov. Glenn Youngkin, Lt. Gov.\u00a0Winsome Sears, and Attorney General\u00a0Jason Miyares. Additionally, in New Jersey,\u00a0Democrat incumbent\u00a0Gov. Phil Murphy\u00a0narrowly survived his reelection.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>However, while it is rare that voters split tickets for Congress, Virginia voted for the Democrat presidential nominee but elected Republicans to statewide office. In fact, ten states currently have a governor from the opposite party the state voted for in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the Republicans appear to have the upper hand across the country,\u00a0<em>Governing<\/em> pointed to two states \u2014\u00a0Massachusetts and\u00a0Maryland \u2014 held by Republicans that are stepping down, even though they have retained some of the highest\u00a0approval ratings in the country. Typically, a move like this creates an opportunity for the opposite party.<\/p>\n<p>Still, throughout the country, Republicans are going on the offense in many more states and looking to hold the states they have while potentially picking up more \u2014 hoping to break the cycle of\u00a0incumbent Democrats winning reelection.<\/p>\n<p>While the\u00a0Democratic Governors Association (DGA)\u00a0deputy communications director, Christina Amestoy, admittingly acknowledged that the Democrat incumbents are facing\u00a0\u201cheadwinds,\u201d the RGA\u00a0deputy communications director,\u00a0Joanna Rodriguez, said, \u201cThe most vulnerable incumbent governors are all on the Democratic side.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>Jacob Bliss is a reporter for Breitbart News.
