For decades, Democrats have followed a reliable path to the White House: secure California, New York, and Illinois, add key states in the upper Midwest, and edge close to 270 electoral votes.
But by 2032, that formula may no longer work, according to a report last week.
“Population shifts, reapportionment after the 2030 Census, and aggressive redistricting are reshaping the political map in ways that could leave Democrats with far fewer paths to victory,” US Presidential Election News noted.
Americans are leaving high-tax, heavily regulated states like California, New York, and Illinois for Texas, Florida, and the Carolinas — a migration that is reshaping political power, the outlet said.
