Democrats Have Flipped 28 State Legislative Seats Since Trump Took Office. Republicans Have Flipped Zero.

On March 11, 2026, Democrat Bobbi Boudman won a special election for a New Hampshire state House seat, flipping an R+13 district that Trump carried in 2024. This marked the 28th state legislative seat Democrats have flipped since Trump took office. Republicans have flipped zero Democratic seats in the same period — a 28-0 ratio.

Boudman won approximately 52% to 48% in a district where the same Democratic candidate had lost by over 13 points in 2024. The DLCC (Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee) stated: 'These wins aren't a flash in the pan.'

The 28-0 seat flip ratio represents a significant political backlash against Trump and Republican governance at the state level. While not a Trump controversy per se, the pattern reflects voter rejection of the administration's agenda across red-leaning districts nationwide.
