Cinq gouverneurs noirs élus simultanément aux USA : Une première historique !
Before the November 2026 midterm elections in the United States, only three Black individuals had been elected governors in the country: Doug Wilder, governor of Virginia (1989); Patrick Deval, governor of Massachusetts (2006); and Wes Moore, governor of Maryland (2022). And, as can be seen, none of them held their positions simultaneously.
Maryland, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, and Wisconsin are led by Black people.
The situation has changed this year, because in addition to Governor Wes Moore being re-elected in Maryland, four other black figures have been elected to lead some states in the country.
These include Byron Donalds, Republican representative from Florida, who became the first Black Republican governor of Florida and in the country's history; Keisha Lance Bottoms, former mayor of Atlanta elected governor of Georgia; Aaron Ford, Democratic attorney general of Nevada, elected the first Black governor of that state; and David Crowley, the first Black person to become chief executive of the state of Wisconsin.
These results undoubtedly demonstrate the breakthroughs made by people of color in white-dominated American politics.
