No offense, but I've been hearing that Texas is going to turn blue: never happens. Maybe a McConaughey could turn things around: I don't know. It's kind of like with DeSantis winning by a comfortable margin in 2022: I tell my Floridian friends, people voted for the guy, somebody has to like him.
Michigan has Dem leadership, but some of the most hardcore MAGAs I know are in Michigan. Girl I went to school with was down in Detroit, yelling "Stop the Count!" Meanwhile, the president of my graduating class (I grew up in Michigan) thinks abortion shouldn't be allowed for any reason, and the solution to gun violence is to get rid of gun-free zones and arm everyone in sight. So, a state may be ostensibly blue but have a lot of "red" people in it. I'm sure it's the same in a red state.
