"The top five all voted for Trump in 2024: Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona. The issue for Democrats, Enten explained was that this is not just a red state boom, but we're also looking at what I would dare call a blue state depression, because the population changes were from people moving from blue states into red states."
"All five of the states with the lowest domestic net migration this decade were states that former Vice President Kamala Harris won in 2024: California, New York, Illinois, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. This could also have major political ramifications if it holds for 2030, the next Census, said Enten, because the way U.S. House seats are reapportioned based on each state's population."
Taylor Rehmet, a first-time candidate and local union leader, won a Texas state senate special election 57 percent to 43 percent over Leigh Wambsganss in a district that Trump carried by more than 17 points in 2024. Long-term domestic population trends since the 2020 Census show the largest gains in Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona, all of which voted for Trump in 2024. The states with the lowest domestic net migration this decade are California, New York, Illinois, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, all states that Kamala Harris won in 2024. Continued migration from blue states into red states could alter congressional reapportionment ahead of the 2030 Census, shifting U.S. House seats toward faster-growing Republican-leaning states and complicating Democratic electoral prospects.
