The national Democratic Party oversees state party affiliates in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and two U.S. territories. These groups are tasked with promoting Democratic principles and supporting Democratic candidates within their jurisdiction. State parties also elect national committeemen, national committeewomen, and delegates as representatives to the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic National Convention.

Each state party may adopt its own platform or adhere to the platform of the Democratic National Committee. State parties are responsible for maintaining ballot access, adopting state bylaws, electing party officers, and chartering local party affiliates.

Party control of state governments

See also: State government trifectas

A state government trifecta occurs when one political party holds the following three positions in a state's government:

• The governorship
• A majority in the state senate
• A majority in the state house.

In other words, a trifecta occurs when there is no divided government, which is also referred to as "single party government." The concept of the trifecta is important in state lawmaking because in many states, the governor, senate majority leader and house majority leader play decisive roles in the legislative process.

As of September 14, 2025, there are 23 Republican trifectas, 15 Democratic trifectas, and 12 divided governments where neither party holds trifecta control.
