RE: The losses are blue and the gains are red.
The all important question is this — WHO are the ones leaving the blue states for the red states?
Are those migrating out of blue states conservatives or liberals?
If it’s the later, I don’t see how this is a gain for conservatives. The trend will only make the red states bluer.
As long as those that those moving from blue to red vote red. Otherwise, it’s the same Californication that happened to many western states.
Where I live liberals are moving to flee from the crime of the city across the river, they created. Don’t bring your politics with you.
What happened to Florida?
Exactly
Actually a couple states split their vote based on districts voting. So this could impact the Presidential races too.

Keep in mind if GOP controls the Presidency in 2030 they get to choose to not count illegals. That will be the biggest impact. Cali will lose a ton of seats!
Check out the budgets for all 50 states.
What we have are likely 50 MAGA red states governed by 50 Deep State controlled state governments.
Don’t believe me?
Look. At. The. Budgets.
Especially the outyears.
Deep State has to steal elections in the so-called blue states for very good reason.
1) if the blatantly rigged 2020 census get fixed....or they are not able to massive rig it again by deliberately undercounting multiple red states yet again in 2030.
2) if illegal aliens are not counted in the census...this was not fully adjudicated by the SCOTUS last time. If they rule that illegals cannot be counted, blue states will lose a whole bunch of reps and electoral votes and federal dollars right there
3) the Baby Boom generation from which Democrats draw a large amount of their support is going to be little more than half its current size in 10 years based on the actuarial tables. They are currently 60-80.
then there are millions of Leftugees fleeing blue states for red states in addition to all the above. This is why Democrats are so desperate to import tens of millions of new voters.
Not sure how much comfort we can take from this. Virginia, North Carolian, Georgia and Arizona used to be reliably Red. Then the moving vans from Blue states started moving in. Is going to be a battle. Florida is the right example of how to keep a state Red as the Blue moving vans come in.
COVID, and Governor DeSantis’ response to it.
Since the census is conducted by the Supreme Court, I expect they’ll continue to count everyone inside the gates. /s
“As long as those that those moving from blue to red vote red. Otherwise, it’s the same Californication that happened to many western states.”
Liberals are vile, non thinking creatures. They will infest, then overrun the red states in a strident effort to turn them blue, because it’s the “virtuous” thing to do.
Do the census sooner.
It used to be mostly Democrats moving to red states and turning them blue.....Think of all those Californians who moved to Portland and Seattle and Denver and turned Oregon, Washington and Colorado blue and almost turned Arizona blue....think of all the New Yorkers and New Jerseyites who almost tipped Florida blue.
That is over now. The trend in recent years has been in the opposite direction. More Conservatives have been giving up on places like California, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, etc. They've played a huge part it turning Florida back very firmly to red and they look like they came just in time to save Arizona before it tipped blue. The same process appears to be helping with Nevada turning it more and more red. It may tip back to red soon. A lot of Conservative Californians played a big part in returning Ted Cruz to the Senate over fake Mexican/drunk driving Irish Bob who was backed by big money from California and New York.
That’s the problem, the people leaving their overly expensive state because it’s too expendive move somewhere else and vote to make their new home overly expensive. Partly why wherever I move to from NJ I somewhat fear that feeling of not being too welcome.
South Carolina and Texas are also more conservative, not less.
Next generation imigrants have been educated and many are tradesmen that heavily lean GOP.Every tradesman I’ve ever hired sets up his conservative radio show before beginning work. They have college educated children and understand the ghetto plantation and avoid it.
