Top 10 Worst United States Governors in 2020
It seems that a list about the worst governors was made back for 2015. It's now 2020, and with COVID, Antifa, all sorts of events, we have taken notice not just of the president, the election, and Congress, but also what the state governors have been doing. And for those who live in the United States, the governor is basically who enforces much of the state laws, and usually only is superseded by the federal government or the court.People have taken notice of what certain governors have done this year. Although the year isn't over, the actions of several governors is one to remember.
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. Honestly, the most surprising thing about Newsom is that he narrowly beats out Cuomo for the worst governor, in my opinion. Crazy when you think about it, but I'm sure there are a ton of pissed-off Californians in the most populous state in America who hate the guy.
He's called for the most crazed of mandates, including discouraging singing, only holding gatherings outside, and extreme restaurant guidelines that probably would put many out of business. Honestly, the list goes on and on. Too many restrictions are going to make obeying the law less acceptable than breaking it.
Oh yeah, and there's a recent video of him having dinner at a restaurant with his crew. It's an insult to the restaurant workers and owners that he gets to do things they can't.
100%, probably the worst politician of the year as far as I'm concerned. Absolutely disgusted at his handling of this virus and his constant refusal to admit he messed up. Because hey, why do that when you can blame it on Trump and politicize the virus so it increases the chances of Biden winning, right?
I don't want to hear one single person attempt to dispute the fact that he ordered COVID-infected patients into nursing homes. And this guy is apparently getting a raise while much of his state is in debt.
Honestly, her policies are about on par with the ones above her, and now she wants to lock down the state once again. No Thanksgiving or otherwise. She's just as controversial as others.
So much of a tyrant that the legislature and courts in Michigan had to cut her down to size.
Hands down, the worst governor in the history of Oregon, and one of the top 5 worst governors in the country. She is pro-pharma, pro-Soros, and she's been instrumental in killing independent businesses as well as downtown Portland. She destroyed the good reputation of Oregon and made it into the laughingstock of the country. We can't get rid of her because of the insane rules for trying to recall an unfit psycho governor. Nobody likes this woman.
Hey Kate, you could have called in the Oregon National Guard to deal with the 100+ days of unrest in Portland to keep the city from being destroyed, right? I mean Ted Wheeler's also guilty of not keeping the peace but still.
Add this to the list of governors who apparently and atrociously sent COVID patients to nursing homes, along with Whitmer and Cuomo.
Ralph's worst year was 2019, with the whole racism controversy. But in January 2020, he wanted to pass legislation to outlaw the Second Amendment. People protested outside of Richmond, wanting to keep their Second Amendment rights, and they didn't fire a single shot. These are the Virginians against the possible tyranny that could come without Second Amendment rights. Not to mention, his stance on late-term abortions is incredibly controversial.
He should have been driven from office by the 'blackface' scandal.
This man was a horrible governor. He was so bad I moved to Florida from Seattle.
Same as with Kate Brown but with Seattle.
Much like Kate Brown and Jay Inslee, here we have another governor who downplayed the violence in his state and instead passed police reform legislation.
Absolutely ruined Georgia.
The Newcomers
All he cares about is cutting taxes and services to the state. He's a businessman who recently dissolved a state agency overseeing homelessness in the state. He's known for blatant cronyism and heavy-handed handling of slashing state programs, as well as being blatantly partisan to the core.
Closing off my remix of this with Greg Abbott, the Republican governor who's a known RINO and is also anti-LGBT. He had the shortest stay-at-home order compared to every other governor and is strict on socially liberal values.
His mail-in ballot voter suppression tactic was pretty awful.
Wow, ninth item on the list and the first Republican governor on this list. There are quite a few reasons why he's here. Like Northam, he's hated by gun lovers, mostly because of the assault weapons ban. He's also against same-sex marriage and legalization of marijuana, as well as being okay with net neutrality.
Ron DeSantis (born September 14, 1978) is an American politician and a former military officer who served as the 46th governor of Florida. Ron DeSantis also once represented Florida's 6th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives from 2013–2018. He is a member of the Republican... read more What a horror. Grandstanding, towing the party line without consideration for the state's welfare, and publicly excoriated young men for wearing protective masks during a pandemic. Hope he drifts into obscure oblivion.
Extremely corrupt and far-right.
Kristi Lynn Arnold Noem, born on November 30, 1971, is an American politician. She has been serving as the eighth United States Secretary of Homeland Security since January 2025.
No wonder Mississippi is always ranked as the worst state...
