## Key points

- The contests were in key presidential battleground states.
- The results may matter for the 2028 election.

## Summary

Five Republican candidates who had cast doubt on or tried to block Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory lost their bids for governor in key US swing states. The results came amid a strong Democratic performance in the 2026 midterms and could shape how these battleground states approach the 2028 presidential election.

The defeated candidates were Andy Biggs in Arizona, John James in Michigan, Stacy Garrity in Pennsylvania, Tom Tiffany in Wisconsin and billionaire Rick Jackson in Georgia. Biggs and Tiffany voted to overturn the 2020 results and backed a lawsuit challenging them; Garrity urged Pennsylvania lawmakers to decertify the result, while Jackson criticised Georgia officials for not finding additional votes. Garrity, Tiffany and Jackson later acknowledged Biden’s victory, while Biggs and James have not.
