""We've done some pretty in-depth look at people who are moving into the state," he revealed. "I'll give an example — Ted Cruz won by more [in the 2018 midterm election against former Rep. Beto O'Rourke, D-Texas] with new voters into Texas than he did with voters who had been in Texas for their entire lives.""
From OP's article: "What we find is that in that first election, they cast a vote in, yes, they tend to be a little more Democratic than they do Republican"
Texas Democrats Rise as White Liberals Arrive In Search of Booming Tech, Energy Jobs
predominately white new arrivals who moved to enjoy the state's economy are a primary factor behind the state potentially turning blue in 2020.
the state's continuing energy and tech industry boom is bringing more liberals to Texas than its traditional Christian conservative base. Left-leaning think tanks and Republican strategists alike say it's not the state's Hispanic population which could turn the country's second-largest electoral prize blue in 2020 -- it's young, white liberals.
The swarm of largely young, college-educated and white Democratic voters from other states is still not likely to move the state into true-blue liberal territory, but rather, some analysts say, a deep purple.
Perfect example of Fox News propaganda. It's factual that Texas is headed purple.
No one claims it IS purple or blue. But it's factual that it is headed in that direction.
Basically, if you take Fox reporting and claim the opposite of it you will be closer to correct.
As an example, recent Texas polling showed Trump and Biden tied. Now think about that. It should be 2 to 1. But they are tied.
Even Warren polls at 44% against Trump - again, a number which wouldn't even have been close before.
Putting it in perspective, GW got 60% in Texas against a Southerner and long term Senator (Al Gore) from TN.
So for Warren to get 44% or Biden to tie Trump is a BIG move.
One can find anything they desire in individuals. I know some CA. escapees who are gun nuts and ultra-conservative. That's why they left...although one ran back after experiencing Florida weather and pollution.
I'm sure Fox can interview many people in Texas who will confirm their bias. That's exactly how the science of propaganda works.
In the end, other than size, Texas does not differ from Virginia or Colorada. Same dynamics at play but they will take longer to play out due to population and the rabidity of some of the populace.

The second largest contributor to Seattle's growth is Texas (after California). Since we keep getting bluer, it must be all the liberals that couldn't stand Texas anymore.
People said that north carolina would turn purple with all the Yankees moving in, it hasnt. The legislature is more Republican than any time in its entire history.
Oh, and PA, MI, and WI are becoming MORE Republican over the years after trending Democrat for decades.
Doesn't PA have a Dem. gov?
"was re-elected in 2018 by a margin of 17.1%"
That's a vast margin, my man. I wouldn't be celebrating too soon.
The PA of my youth (Born and raised) was definitely somewhat Republican. Our most famous family - John Heinz - was the Senator. It was a different kind of Republican than today.
Look up the WPedia list of Gov. of PA.....please note that as many are Republican as Democrat for generations.
So "becoming more Republican" is a falsehood.
It is true that PA. is pitt and philly with Alabama in-between. But the exact population of each is about even.
That's why they say that National Elections are somewhat determined by the feelings of Suburban Women in the counties outside of Philly. Not to say they have the numbers, but that is the "swing" as the folks from Altoona are always going to vote Republican.
You may want to read up on the details of that particular voting block. I can tell you this much - they don't condone puzzy grabbing.

"The orderly subdivisions and kid-friendly communities that ring the nation’s cities have become a deathtrap for Republicans, as college-educated and upper-income women flee the party in droves, costing the GOP its House majority and sapping the party’s strength in state capitals and local governments nationwide"
I have family and friends in the burbs of Philly and Pitt and they run very liberal....and the younger they are, the more liberal they run....and, the burbs are younger now as older people retire and move to the city or south.

So do Kentucky and Louisiana.
And PA Republicans have control of the state legislature, and have since after the 2010 elections.
One of PA's U.S. Senators is a GOPer (and not the most moderate GOPer either), who won reelection in a presidential election year.
At the presidential level (which is what I'm really getting at), PA has been trending more and more toward the Republicans since Obama's recent high mark in 2008, with Trump winning it in 2016. People talk about population demographics, but PA is still overwhelmingly white, which doesn't fit into the left's dream of a "browning America."
I love how you mention that point about PA women, when Donald Trump WON the state in 2016 AFTER the Access Hollywood (where he talks about purely consensual conduct) aired.

2018 North Carolina
Blue waves in urban North Carolina help Democrats break GOP ‘supermajorities’
North Carolina Democrats loosened the GOP grip on the General Assembly on Tuesday with help from an unlikely place — metropolitan suburbs that were once reliably Republican.
That was one of a confluence of factors that helped Democrats virtually sweep urban counties such as Mecklenburg and Wake and defeat GOP lawmakers in other urban counties.
Democrats broke Republican legislative “supermajorities” that diluted the power of Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper by making it easy to override his vetoes.
