Title explains it. Both states barely went blue in 2020. They are in a transitional period. Which seems more likely to elect a Democrat governor this mid-term.
Migration player. A big factor in Arizona and Georgia turning purple. In Arizona. Plenty of California residents move there in the past ten years helping to push the state towards blue. And for Georgia. Plenty of black Americans from the northern portions of the United States moved back to their ancestral lands of the south which had better prosperity and far less racism than the liberal north. Georgia with Atlanta as it's base is the economic and cultural heartland for black Americans. I predicted that Arizona ajs Georgia will turn blue. I'm not sure how many more blacks will move back to Georgia to cement Georgia as democrat, along with decline of California which will force many to move out of the state, a good example of such is Podcaster Joe Rogan..
Governor Kemp is the obvious choice over incumbent Governor Abrams... There is no comparison, and I do not understand the mentality that thinks otherwise.
“I don’t understand why people think differently than I do”
In AZ Hispanics make up 32% of the population and may not be as supportive of Dem candidates as they have in the past.
Hispanic working class (noncollege) voters are emerging as an Achilles heel for the Democrats. Here are some facts about Hispanic working class voters that help bring this challenge for Democrats into focus. https://theliberalpatriot.substack.c...spanic-working
Hispanics in general are much more pragmatic than white liberals and actually know what a woman is without needing a Biologist. White Liberals and Black Leftist are just nuts and are willing to jump on the latest fad, Regardless of fact: Jussie Smollet, the Covington lie, Michael "the gentle Thug" Brown, are just typical lies that Democrats perpetuate.

If by some chance of the imagination Abrams wins GA to quote Ross Perot, "you'll hear a large sucking sound".... as many get out as fast as possible. Too many will not live under the thumb of that hateful woman.
Kemp is an incumbent. In AZ the seat is open. Kemp has a positive approval rating. The GOP candidates in AZ are all on the far right. The Dem is more centrist and female. More than likely a constitutional amendment to permit abortions will be on the ballot. Ergo AZ is more likely to elect a dem. I don't think that makes it blue, though. Local issues.
If Arizona elects a dem governor and both senators are dems and 5-9 house members are dems. That makes AZ blue. Barely blue but with the huge influx of Californians since the pandemic that trend will only get stronger. Plus the Roe v Wade situation puts AZ in the abortion spotlight and with this amendment you are talking of will bring the left out in droves.

Yes, there's a large number of Californians who have moved here since 2020. However, will this offset a growing percentage of Hispanics who plan to vote Rep? Add to this ballot harvesting won't be allowed and I'll be very curious what happens in AZ this Nov.
I suspect if it makes the ballot it will pass. However, not necessarily because of a higher than normal turnout by Dem voters. Those adamantly oppose abortion will be out in full force as well.

Even if Abrams wins, Republicans will likely retain both of Georgia's legislative chambers, so the type of policies she would prefer are unlikely to get enacted without a lot of negotiation and compromise.
