According to the Constitution of the United States, all powers except those of the federal government are reserved for the states. Therefore, the power of the American governor is relatively large. In addition, all governors in the United States are elected by the people.
American governors are called "governors" in English. In addition to the governors of fifty states, the chief executives of five American territories are also called "governors", which is usually translated as "governors" in Chinese. Historically, when the American territories were not statehood, the governors were appointed by the president, but the governors of the five existing territories (Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands and Guam) were all elected by the people, and they were also members of the National Governors Association. The only area in the United States without a "governor" is Washington, D.C., and its chief executive is the mayor.
The result of the governor election reflects some signs that the political map of the United States has changed. The new governor will generally implement policies that are more in line with the party's ideas and interests, and will also create favorable conditions for the presidential election two years later. Therefore, both parties in the United States are trying to win the governor election.
