✅

You need to switch ids with classes or make your ids unique

Maybe use id="myChart" for first, and id="myChart2" for second, yet you will need to create another function to target the second chart.

You could switch ids with classes and target them both via Javascript, thats if both charts share same options. 

var ctx = document.getElementsByClassName("myChart").getContext('2d');

Don’t use the same id for multiple elements. id must be unique!

In your example, change them to different ids – maybe firstChart and secondChart:

window.onload = function() {
  var ctx = document.getElementById("firstChart").getContext('2d');

  var firstChart = new Chart(ctx, {
    type: 'doughnut',
    data: {
      labels: ["Iowa", "Iowa State"],
      datasets: [{
        backgroundColor: [
          "#CC0000",
          "#F1BE48",
        ],
        data: [2000, 9000]
      }]
    },
    options: {
      responsive: true,
      maintainAspectRatio: false
    }
  });

  var ctx2 = document.getElementById("secondChart").getContext('2d');

  var secondChart = new Chart(ctx2, {
    type: 'doughnut',
    data: {
      labels: ["Iowa", "Iowa State"],
      datasets: [{
        backgroundColor: [
          "#CC0000",
          "#F1BE48",
        ],
        data: [2000, 9000]
      }]
    },
    options: {
      responsive: true,
      maintainAspectRatio: false
    }
  });
}

Or – if you don’t need a reference to each chart because you don’t want to change them later – use the same class for all charts:

window.onload = function() {
  var charts = document.getElementsByClassName("piechart");

  for (chart of charts) {
    var ctx = chart.getContext('2d');

    new Chart(ctx, {
      type: 'doughnut',
      data: {
        labels: ["Iowa", "Iowa State"],
        datasets: [{
          backgroundColor: [
            "#CC0000",
            "#F1BE48",
          ],
          data: [2000, 9000]
        }]
      },
      options: {
        responsive: true,
        maintainAspectRatio: false
      }
    });
  }
}
