Top 10 Worst United States Governors in 2021

Andrew Cuomo (New York)

He is finally resigning because there is sufficient proof that he broke state law by sexually harassing multiple women. His own party held him accountable.

Sexually harassed women, is thankfully resigning, and gets more controversial year by year. Bill de Blasio is a lot better than this guy.

Greg Abbott (Texas)

He shamelessly scapegoated migrants amid his state's increase in COVID cases. - kansascity.com

Ron DeSantis (Florida)

Ron DeSantis (born September 14, 1978) is an American politician, attorney, and former naval officer. He has served as the 46th governor of Florida since January 8, 2019. Prior to that, DeSantis represented Florida's 6th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2013 to 2018, and... read more

He is an evil governor. He has been racist multiple times (spoke at a Muslim-bashing event, supports Sebastian Gorka, bashes immigrants, etc.), is a Donald Trump puppet, and refused to implement lockdowns, which led to thousands of deaths in his state.
His supporters used blackface riots against his opponent, and he forced students to pray in all Floridian schools. This guy is definitely the worst governor in the United States right now and has done uncountable bad things. He also has anti-vaccine merchandise. He is everything you don't want in a governor.

Instead of any legitimate policy that would help Florida, DeSantis is more concerned with being a contrarian and a borderline fascist with his continuous witch hunts against LGBT people in every possible corner of the state.
Lest we forget criminalizing all abortion, pushing for books that aren't the Bible to be banned, his horrendous response to COVID, slinging mud at Disney for every little thing they do, and not aiding Fort Lauderdale after a flood. DeSantis deserves no praise. He is a failure through and through.

Gavin Newsom (California)

Gavin Christopher Newsom (born October 10, 1967) is an American politician and businessman. He has been serving as the 40th governor of California since 2019 as a member of the Democratic Party.

He is why we are planning on leaving. He has sold himself to big corporations, and we are paying the cost. He is pushing "green" initiatives and enforcing electric/battery-powered cars and equipment. However, we don't have enough power to run smoothly as it is. It is going to get worse with many dam removals already voted in.
This "green" initiative is not addressed thoroughly. He says he wants to help reduce our impact on the environment. However, there is no consideration of how many toxins and pollutants there will be to make all these new cars, equipment, tools, and batteries for his new laws. Nor are they telling people how much or how often they will need to replace these batteries. What are these dead, useless batteries (that there will be millions of) going to do piled up in landfills, personal properties, and their impact on our environment?
Even if we can recycle, not all of them will be, and those that are will add toxins and pollutants to our environment. Additionally, there is the extreme drought, horrible fires, and we are still approving dam removals. Also, did I mention that we are at the top of the nation in high taxes and the cost of living? Newsom keeps adding more laws that will make our cost of living go even higher.
But he doesn't care because he is rich and is catering to himself and his rich friends. In the end, they will be the only ones who will be able to afford to live here. Also, his handling of the "pandemic" was disgusting. Our cities are overrun with crime and homeless people. His laws getting between parents and their kids are unacceptable. If there is abuse, then step in. Otherwise, let parents raise their kids how they want to.

Brian Kemp (Georgia)

A racist fraud. Also really bad at handling COVID.

Kay Ivey (Alabama)

She is the Governor of Alabama, who is extremely racist. She is a conservative nut job and did blackface in high school.

Kate Brown (Oregon)

Mike DeWine (Ohio)

Awful handling of COVID.

Gretchen Whitmer (Michigan)

Gretchen Esther Whitmer (born August 23, 1971) is an American lawyer and politician who has served as the 49th governor of Michigan since 2019.

A member of the Democratic Party, she previously served in the Michigan House of Representatives from 2001 to 2006 and in the Michigan Senate from 2006... read more

She also faced scrutiny for revealing in a book that she shot her dog because it behaved in a way that she didn't approve of... read more

Mike Parson (Missouri)

Awful handling of COVID, opened businesses way too early, and is a lazy governor. He said, "These kids have got to get back to school, and if they do get COVID-19, which they will - and they will when they go to school - they're not going to the hospitals."
He banned vaccine passports and thinks doctors are rude for giving people vaccines. People actually listen to him, and Missouri is doing awful in COVID today.

Phil Murphy (New Jersey)

Ralph Northam (Virginia)

Jay Inslee (Washington)

Biggest pinhead around! He is destroying the state with tax upon tax upon tax. He is not only causing the downfall and destruction of small businesses but also is the cause of large businesses leaving the state due to his "all your money belongs to me" policies!
He is personally responsible for all the early deaths of our seniors by locking them up together during the early stages of the COVID outbreak. Due to his Machiavellian lockdowns, he is to blame for the skyrocketing teen suicide rates. Freaking liar now wants to make lying a misdemeanor, so he would be GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY!

J. B. Pritzker (Illinois)

Spencer Cox (Utah)

Larry Hogan (Maryland)

Tom Wolf (Pennsylvania)

Philly is a mess because of this man. Don't vote for this dumbass.
