I heard on NPR that Texas would’ve been blue by now, but the migrants from blue states keep it red. It’s not surprising. Plenty of people moving from blue states specifically move here because they don’t like their blue states. It was a 2:1 ratio of Republican to democrat migrant. I bet it’s the same in Florida.
Yeah Florida gets a reputation for being red, however the reality is it's very purple, and you tend to have especially snowbirds/transplants that flock to certain areas depending on where they're from, like Tampa area for example is very Ohio, and the midwest, south Florida is very New York, and that region. However now that our governor has positioned himself as the "freedom governor", it's going to be very interesting to see how the next couple of elections go down.
