how many governors are there

Short answer: There are 50 U.S. states, each with a governor, plus several U.S. territories with their own governors. If you’re asking specifically about current partisan control across U.S. states, the latest consolidated figure is that there are 27 Republican governors and 23 Democratic governors (as of recent cycles), with no Independents holding governor offices. If you need the exact current list of which states have Republican vs Democratic governors right now, I can pull up the latest breakdown for you.
