(WDRB+WAVE) — Governors from both sides of the river have completely different views on the election results.Republicans lost the supermajority in the Indiana statehouse as Democrats flipped 16 seats in the House and five in the Senate.The GOP remains in the majority across the river in Kentucky as Republicans lost seven House seats and two in the Senate but hold onto the supermajority.How each governor views the election is night and day.Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear focused on a milestone a decade in the making.“And that’s the first time there’s been a net pickup for Democrats in over 10 years,” Beshear said.Indiana Gov. Mike Braun pointed to concerns felt by voters across the country.“Here, I think it’s a classic case, number one, of where we had issues at the national level that had people burdened, and I’ve been the loudest voice out of any governor on affordability,” Braun said.The only thing Governors Andy Beshear and Mike Braun have in common is a state border. Indiana Republicans lost one congressional seat, the secretary of state, state comptroller seat and 21 seats in the state house and the supermajority. “I don’t think the supermajority really had that much advantage to it,” Braun said. “A few technical things. I view anything like this as a wake-up call and an opportunity.”Across the river, the GOP lost nine seats in the statehouse and the 6th congressional district once held by Andy Barr, who won the Senate seat held by Mitch McConnell.“Donald Trump had won the state by 30 points,” Beshear said. “He’d won the 6th Congressional District by 15 points. Yet we flipped that 6th Congressional District and elected Zach Denbo.”Nationally, Democrats seated more governors than any election in history.As chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, Beshear spent a fair amount of time campaigning outside of Kentucky. When asked if he should’ve spent more time campaigning for Kentucky Democratic candidates, Beshear said that was a battle that was never going to be won.“We weren’t going to break the supermajority here in Kentucky,” Beshear said. “The veto override is just 50 plus one.”In a few weeks, lawmakers from both states will take up their respective positions in Frankfort and Indianapolis, and the big topic in both statehouses this coming session is the budget.</div></body>
