Scott faces progressive challenger in Vermont gubernatorial contest
Vermont's November gubernatorial election will pit incumbent Republican Phil Scott against progressive Democrat Amanda Janoo, according to Decision Desk HQ projections. Scott has served as Vermont's governor since his 2016 election and is seeking to extend his tenure with a sixth term in office.
The matchup presents a contest between Scott's moderate Republican approach and the progressive priorities of his Democratic challenger. As an incumbent who has maintained the state's highest office for a decade, Scott will defend his record whilst Janoo attempts to shift Vermont's leadership leftward.
