Are you only referring to the states that are holding gubernatorial elections this year?

Delaware. LBR is probably more dynamic than most Delaware politicians, and Biden's a native son.

New Hampshire has a good chance of doing so, since it'll be an open race this time, but I guess that depends on whether Ayotte wins the primary and how strong she'll be compared to the D candidate.

I'm hoping against hope Montana swings left too, but that's mostly due to how much I hate Gianforte.

Not a state, but Suburban Atlanta is a likely contender due to demographics. If not it likely stagnates. Also Wisconsin if the polls are correct, but that state tends to overestimate "D"s.

Gubernatorially? Here are the ones that are at least reasonably possible (ranked from most to least obvious)

1. IN definitely does (Holcomb won by over 30 in 2020, Rainwater will likely draw quite a few votes from Braun, though less than 2020, and most of all, McCormick seems like a very strong candidate, very much this cycle's Hofmeister)

2 (way tie). Solid chance UT does (Cox won by a solid 33 points in 2020); NH probably will, considering Sununu's retiring and won by a pretty solid margin in 2022 (I don't see Republicans managing it again)

3. Decent chance ND does (Burgum was reelected by 40 points in 2020 - though then again, downballot Rs always do insanely well in ND)

4. Underrated possibility that NC does (Robinson's such a kook that although it's unlikely, I could see a 2022 PA-GOV kinda result, obviously on a less dramatic scale, where Stein wins by quite a bit more than the polls suggest)

5. VT Dems might just have a dead cat's bounce...there has to be a point where even Unbeatable Titan Scott reaches his ceiling
