Pritzker]] and [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]] supermajorities in both houses of the [[Illinois General Assembly]]. Illinois also has 2 Democratic U.S. senators and a 14–3 Democratic majority [[United States congressional delegations from Illinois|U.S. House delegation]].

As of 2024, Wisconsin has a Democratic Governor [[Tony Evers]] and a Republican-controlled [[Wisconsin Legislature]]. Wisconsin also has 1 Democratic and 1 Republican Senator and a 6-2 Republican majority [[United States congressional delegations from Wisconsin|U.S. House delegation]]. Wisconsin is considered a [[purple state]], as the state was decided by less than 1 percentage point in [[2016 United States presidential election in Wisconsin|2016]], [[2020 United States presidential election in Wisconsin|2020]], and [[2024 United States presidential election in Wisconsin|2024]], with the nationwide winner also taking Wisconsin each time.

From [[1992 United States presidential election in Michigan|1992]] to [[2012 United States presidential election in Michigan|2012]], [[Michigan]] consistently voted for the Democratic presidential candidate, though in four of those six elections, the margin of victory was in the single digits. Beginning in [[2016 United States presidential election in Michigan|2016]], it has evolved into a true swing state, with [[Donald Trump]] winning Michigan in his two successful presidential bids in 2016 and [[2024 United States presidential election in Michigan|2024]]. The [[Michigan Legislature]] is also closely divided; the Democrats currently hold the minimum 20-18 majority in the [[Michigan Senate|Senate]] and the Republicans hold a narrow 58-52 majority in the [[Michigan House of Representatives|House]]. As of 2025, Michigan has 2 Democratic U.S. Senators and a 7-6 bare Republican majority in their [[United States congressional delegations from Michigan|U.S. House of Representatives delegation]].

Indiana is considered a Republican stronghold, having voting for that party's presidential candidate in every election since 1940, except for [[Lyndon B. Johnson|Johnson]] in 1964 and [[Barack Obama]] in 2008. As of 2023, the Republican party controls both U.S. Senate seats, has a 7–2 majority [[United States congressional delegations from Indiana|U.S. House congressional delegation]], and has a state-level trifecta (the governorship and both houses of the [[Indiana General Assembly]]).

As of 2024, Ohio currently has a Republican Governor [[Mike DeWine]] and Republican majorities in the [[Ohio General Assembly]]. Ohio also has 1 Democratic and 1 Republican U.S. Senator and a 10-5 Republican majority U.S. House delegation. Ohio has been a battleground state in presidential elections, and no Republican has won the office without winning Ohio. [[Donald Trump]] won Ohio by about 8 percentage points in both the [[2016 United States presidential election in Ohio|2016]] and [[2020 United States presidential election in Ohio|2020]] presidential elections, signaling a shift towards the right for the state's federal electorate. The [[2022 United States elections|2022 midterms]] resulted in strong Republican support at the state level, and moderate Republican support at the federal level, with Republican governor Mike DeWine winning reelection in a [[2022 Ohio gubernatorial election|landslide]] and Republican author [[JD Vance]] winning election [[2022 United States Senate election in Ohio|to the U.S. Senate]] by about 6 percentage points.
