Republicans fended off strong Democratic challenges Tuesday to hold on to the

governorships of Florida, Ohio and Iowa, maintaining their control of three states
likely to be crucial in the 2020 presidential elections.

But Democrats seized governorships in three states now controlled by

Republicans: Illinois, Michigan and, in a surprise outcome in a Republican
stronghold, Kansas.

The results, reported by The Associated Press, expanded the number of states with
Democratic chief executives — an important consideration as legislatures begin
the process of drawing congressional district lines. But they fell short of what
many party leaders were hoping for, and reflected a night of mixed tidings for the
party out of power.

The victory in Florida by Ron DeSantis, a Republican supporter of President

Trump, turned back the historic effort by Andrew Gillum, the Tallahassee mayor,
who was seeking to become the first African-American governor of his state.

and former federal regulator. And in Iowa, Gov. Kim Reynolds, a Republican,
defeated Fred Hubbell, a Democrat and wealthy businessman, in a toss-up contest
that had hinged on local issues including the state’s health care system and its
economy.

But the loss in Kansas by Kris Kobach, a deeply conservative secretary of state and
also a staunch ally of Mr. Trump, was a setback for the party in one of the most
conservative regions in the country. He was beaten by Laura Kelly, a Democratic
member of the Kansas Senate.

Democrats also captured Republican-held gubernatorial seats in two key

Midwestern states, Illinois and Michigan. J.B. Pritzker, the billionaire heir to the
Hyatt Hotels fortune, defeated Bruce Rauner, who has been governor of Illinois
since 2015, and Gretchen Whitmer, a former member of the Michigan state
legislature, defeated Bill Schuette, the Republican attorney general who also ran
with the support of Mr. Trump.

In Colorado, Jared Polis, a Democratic member of Congress, became the first

openly gay man elected governor, defeating Walker Stapleton, a Republican and
the state treasurer. Christine Hallquist of Vermont failed in her bid to become the
first transgender governor in the nation, as Gov. Phil Scott, a Republican, handily
turned back her challenge and captured a second term as the state’s chief
executive.

And in California, Gavin Newsom, the lieutenant governor, easily won election
over John Cox, a Republican businessman, inheriting the mantle of Gov. Jerry
Brown as the leader of arguably the most Democratic state in the country.

Mr. Newsom loped to an easy victory, riding the overwhelmingly Democratic edge
in the state but also the strong opposition to Mr. Trump. The president endorsed
Mr. Cox in the primary.
The results came on a night when Republicans were trying to keep control of
governor’s seats in crucial rust-belt states that Mr. Trump won in 2016, including
Iowa and Wisconsin, which were too close to call late in the evening.

The contests for governor were, to a considerable extent, overshadowed by the

battle for control of Congress during this contentious election season. But along
with the battle to control state legislatures, they could prove significant in setting
the nation’s political landscape for the next decade.

This new class of governors will take office as states prepare for the highly
partisan process of drawing congressional and legislative districts. Republicans
seized power in states across the nation in 2010, in the first midterm election of the
presidency of Barack Obama, which put them in a position to use the redistricting
process to cement their majority in Congress.

The battle between Mr. Gillum and Mr. DeSantis was one of the most closely
watched, in part because of the racial overtones that marked the campaign. Mr.
DeSantis, who is white, squeaked out a victory after spending weeks addressing
questions about his past political associations with racists and xenophobes.

Mr. Gillum, the Tallahassee mayor, whose administration was under federal
investigation for corruption, was repeatedly accused by Mr. DeSantis of financial
impropriety.

Mr. Trump was an early supporter of Mr. DeSantis, who defended the president on
television and modeled his candidacy after the president’s. And Mr. Trump
returned the favor, heading to Florida to campaign on his behalf.

The Republican victory in Florida marked a setback for Democrats, who were
hoping to take control of a state that has been crucial in presidential politics for
more than a decade. This was the latest in a series of statewide contests in Florida
that has been decided by a thin margin.

In Kansas, Mr. Kobach is best known for his hard-line views on immigration and
voting rights, and his candidacy was considered problematic by both national and
state party leaders, who worried that he was too extreme to win a general election.
Nevertheless, he was a close ally of Mr. Trump, and the president endorsed him in
the days before the primary last summer.

“Today, Kansans voted for change,” Ms. Kelly said as she declared victory in
Topeka. “Change not only in the direction of our state, but a change in the tone of
our state.”

In addition to Ms. Whitmer, another up-and-coming Democratic moderate, Gina

Raimondo, held on to her governor’s seat in Rhode Island, beating her Republican
challenger, Allan Fung. Democrats also held on to several governorships in Eastern
states where they were heavily favored, as Andrew Cuomo won easily in New
York and Tom Wolf romped in Pennsylvania.

Republicans kept seats in solidly red states including Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas,
South Carolina and Wyoming. Two moderate G.O.P. governors, Charlie Baker in
Massachusetts and Larry Hogan in Maryland, also kept their seats.

Ms. Whitmer and Ms. Raimondo represent a class of younger — and energetic —
Democratic leaders who, with this election, have emerged at a time when the party
is debating not only what its ideology should be, but which lawmakers should lead
it.

Ms. Whitmer will replace Rick Snyder, a Republican who was elected governor of
Michigan in 2010.

A former venture-capital executive who won her first term for governor in 2014,
Ms. Raimondo has been criticized for not doing enough to combat Rhode Island’s
lackluster economy. She has also faced lingering bitterness from some of the
state’s unions over her role in overhauling the pension system years ago when she
was the treasurer.

But on the national stage, she is well respected by high-ranking Democrats — she
was among those reportedly considered as a possible running mate to Hillary
Clinton — and serves as the vice chairwoman of the Democratic Governors’
Association, which focuses on electing state executives.

Mr. Cordray’s loss in Ohio deepened the Democratic Party’s concerns that the
once-purple state has become irreversibly red. The Democratic Party had bet that a
focus on lunch-pail issues could appeal to liberals and minority voters, as well the
white working-class voters who had overwhelmingly swung to Mr. Trump.

But Mr. DeWine’s victory — driven perhaps by the popularity of the departing
Republican governor, John Kasich — and the appearance of Mr. Trump at a rally
in Cleveland on Monday, suggests that the reddening seen in 2016 could be more a
new standard than an anomaly.

Mr. Cordray was gracious as he addressed subdued supporters at a hotel in

downtown Columbus. He congratulated Mr. DeWine and expressed hope that the
governor-elect would bring the state together after a campaign that had at times
turned sour.

“Mike has always been a dedicated public servant,” Mr. Cordray said, “and I hope
he will be a governor who looks out for all Ohioans — as much for the Ohioans
who voted for me as for the Ohioans who voted for him.”

In Tennessee, where most of the political energy was focused on the state’s Senate
race, Bill Lee, a Republican, defeated Karl Dean, a Democratic former mayor of
Nashville, in the race to succeed Gov. Bill Haslam. Mr. Haslam, a Republican who
faced term limits and chose not to run for the Senate seat, was seen as a moderating
force in the Tennessee capital.
