Supermajorities

Meanwhile, 5 states expanded their majorities into veto-proof majorities: Vermont, Delaware, and Illinois for Democrats, and Florida and Ohio for Republicans.

**Following the election, Democrats in North Carolina and Louisiana changed their party affiliation to join the GOP, giving Republicans supermajorities in both states.
