Vermont is one of only two Republican-held governorships in states won by Democrat Kamala Harris in 2024 (the other being New Hampshire). While Scott's popularity and margin of victory make this seat highly competitive, his 74% approval rating and history of 68%+ general election victories make a Democratic flip unlikely in 2026.

Peter Welch
Safe D
Vermont's Senate seat is one of the safest Democratic seats in the nation. Welch's 66% approval rating (2nd highest in the Senate after Bernie Sanders' 68%) and dominant 68.5% 2022 election victory make this seat virtually uncompetitive in 2028. The race has minimal national strategic importance but tracks Welch's record as a progressive Democrat in a deep-blue state.
