This race was one of six Republican-held governorships up for election in 2022 in a state carried by
Joe Biden in the
2020 presidential election . During the 2022 season, Scott enjoyed one of the highest approval ratings of any governor in the nation, and was expected to easily win reelection. As such, he carried every municipality in the state, this time with the largest margin in a Vermont gubernatorial race since
Howard Dean's landslide in
1996 . Scott's 47-point victory margin was the largest for a Republican candidate since
1950 , even while Democratic congressman
Peter Welch won the concurrent
U.S. Senate election by a 40-point margin.
