The reason is if you look at how each county voted - it comes up more Democratic than Republican. So it will be just adding another blue state. Assuming all I've read is true.

No... you can carve a Republican state out of it.

New California would likely vote Democrat.

Urban areas and new coast still lean towards Democrat which also happen to have the largest populations, while the deep red counties are small.
