Map of a close presidential election in the 2020s

If these trends continue, we could see:

Illinois becoming the only democratic state in the mid-west. Minnesota had a very long sequence of democratic vote, but it was close in 2016, and maybe it will not survive.
New Hampshire becoming republican, it was close in 2016, Pennsylvania remaining republican, Maine 2nd district remaining republican.
Florida, Georgia and North Carolina becoming democrat.

Why is Arizona still Republican?

Also, Minnesota will stay Democratic in the 2020s. The Twin Cities are getting way too big for the rurals to overcome.

Flip Arizona and this seems plausible enough.

By 2028 Illinois will be a tossup state, dont @ me.

Why are Republicans who live in solidly Democratic states so delusional about the prospects of Republican candidates in said states?

A Republican can't win Illinois in this political alignment, because they would need to both destroy the Democrat downstate AND do very well in the Chicago suburbs, and those two things can't happen at the same time. hell, all a Democrat needs to do to win Illinois is get 70% in Cook County and they can win statewide while losing every other county in the state.

Florida will not flip to Democratic.

It will be close in 2020, real close.

Since FL and AZ are moving Dem, the days of close elections are over

How is Florida moving Dem? Sure the Democrats picked up a few US House Seats but overall Florida was resistant to the 2018 Democratic Wave with statewide elections. Florida elected a Republican governor for the sixth time in a row, while flipping a US Senate Seat from Democratic to Republican.

You might be right as long as Democrats stay home downstate. I was totally expecting in both 2016 and 2018 for Dade county to make up the difference. People stayed home.
