Arizona is getting a lot of people from liberal areas moving into its metropolitan areas, like Phoenix. With large amount of immigrants living in the state, its very possible the demographics are shifting. But I think one of the biggest reasons Sinema won is that she is incredibly moderate. Like really moderate, she votes with Trump 50% or 60% of the time. While Mcsally is rather moderate of a republican, she went full Trump during the campaign. So are the Democrats making a break out in Arizona, yes and no. I think what we saw in this election is that Arizona wants a moderate politician to represent them them, not a trumper like Mcsally played herself to be.

Anyways, expects the republicans in the state to pass voter suppression laws pretty soon to stop the Hispanic vote from impacting elections.

One thing I heard interesting the other day, in regards to Texas voting more Democratic than before is due to people moving.

People commonly think "oh immigrants"

But the point brought up was that middle class/wealthy people who are democrats move out of California because of the high taxes to places like Texas with little taxes, and yet when they move their they keep their ideology and continue to vote for politicians like they had in California, which includes higher taxes. Kind of funny when you think about it.

Actually, I was listening to some Ben Shapiro this week and he said most of the people moving to Texas are voting Republican. The Native born Texans are voting Democrat more than Republican (by a little).

It would make sense because if you lived in a liberal area, you will know how the Democrats will treat you and chase all the middle-class jobs out with a lot of regulations and high taxes. Some native-born Texans won't understand how Democrats really are.
