In 2024, Vermont Democrats suffered a rough night as local Republicans rode the coat-tails of Governor Phil Scott's landslide re-election, with Democrats losing 6 seats in the State Senate and 18 Seats in the State House. However, Democrats' biggest loss would be the Lieutenant Governor's office, as incumbent David Zuckerman lost re-election to moderate Republican John Rodgers (a former Democrat), who had the strong backing of Governor Phil Scott. Rodgers' focus on cost of living and his argument that the Democrats had moved too far left seemed to pay off, especially given Zuckerman's affiliation with the left-wing Vermont Progressive Party (while he received the support of Democrats, Zuckerman is officially a member of the VPP). However, since the Vermont Constitution requires the legislature to pick a winner if no candidate gets 50% of the vote and Rodgers got 48.76%, his victory wasn't official until the legislature voted on it. Despite conceding, Zuckerman and Ian Diamondstone (the third candidate in the race) argued the Vermont Legislature should overrule the popular vote (which they hadn't done since 1976) and pick Zuckerman on the basis a majority of voters had chosen the two more liberal candidates in the race. The legislature rejected that argument, however, voting 158-18 to elect Rodgers.
