One-party rule is generally regarded as a good thing for the party in power, while divided government, the argument goes, allows for key checks and balances. But there are perils to unilateral power.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Senate President Chris Kapenga look at one another while listening to Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers gives his State of the State speech at the state Capitol Tuesday, Feb. 15, 2022, in Madison, Wis.
Democrats are also on track to win back the governor’s office in Maryland, where they already control the Legislature. And Republicans could gain trifectas in Wisconsin and Kansas, where incumbent Democratic governors are locked in close races. Even if Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers wins, Republicans are well-positioned to gain veto-proof majorities in the Legislature to neutralize his second-term agenda.
Single-party control “would seem to be the smoother path to achieving broad party goals. There isn’t an obvious roadblock. And you don’t have to worry about finding bipartisan compromises or entrenched opposition,” Evan Horowitz, executive director of the Center for State Policy Analysis at Tufts University, said in an interview.
That’s a marked contrast to governance in the nation’s capital, where every president since Jimmy Carter has. Joe Biden is on track to join his predecessors as Republicans are poised to retake at least one chamber of Congress next week.
