Who controls the states?
In Alaska, both chambers of the legislature are governed under unique power-sharing agreements between Democrats, Republicans, and independent lawmakers. Each chamber is overseen by a Republican, but because of Democrats' unique say in the chamber, the state is marked as having "divided" legislative control and a "split" control with the governor.
Nebraska's unicameral legislature is officially made up of nonpartisan lawmakers but is generally understood to be led by Republicans.
In Pennsylvania, two vacancies leave Democrats with a one-seat minority in the state House, but the party retains control of the chamber due to a 2023 rule change wherein the controlling party is the one that won the greater number of elections in the previous general election. Republicans control the state Senate.
