Heading into the 2022 Midterms, 37 states are governed by trifectas: a single party controls a majority in the state house, state senate, and also holds the governor’s seat.  There are 23 Republican trifectas and 14 Democratic trifectas.  This sort of single party control of states has increased since 2018, and in this election cycle, a handful of states could gain or lose  trifectas.  

We speak with Archon Fung, Director of the Harvard Ash Center at the Harvard Kennedy School, about what trifectas mean for democracy and for public policy.
