Election math looks like it’s just going to get easier for the GOP

It’s going to get tougher and tougher for Democrats to win the Electoral College and the White House if present trends hold, new projections from the U.S. Census Bureau suggest.
Democratic strongholds like California and New York appear likely to lose population and multiple electoral votes, while GOP-leaning states like Texas and Florida are likely to pick up votes. That would lead to a shift in 2030.
Those changes could help expand the map for the GOP, unless Democrats can figure out ways to win Texas, Florida or some other states they lost to President-elect Trump.
“You have people shifting from blue states to red states, and it is indicative of a national trend that bodes well just for Republicans in general,” said Republican strategist Constantin Querard.

“They’re going from blue states to red states for a reason,” Querard said.
