Nevada and Utah: A combination of a water shortage crisis and gambling being outlawed at the federal level in the early 2040s cause Nevada's population to crater. The state is only expected to be allotted the minimum 3 electoral votes following the 2050 census. Many of the refugees resettle in Utah, turning it into a light red/purple state over the course of a few years.

New Mexico and Texas: Texas continues to experience massive economic and population growth, especially in Austin and its suburbs. This is the fourth time in the row that Democrats have won the state (after having finally broken the seal in 2036). Many Republicans, unhappy with the new direction of the state, move to New Mexico, which recently got a Republican Governor, turning it into a light red state.

Kansas and NE-01: Amazon HQ7 is opened in Wichita, which causes a domino effect of businesses and corporations opening up in Wichita and other Kansas cities. The state is now the de-facto HQ for the "Middle America" branches. The growth spills out into nearby Nebraska, which pushes NE-01 to vote Democrat as well.

Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Mississippi, and South Carolina: The 'New Great Migration' continues, as Black Midwesterners return to the South. They primarily settle in Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, which were already blue or trending that way, but also Mississippi and South Carolina. Though Southern whites still vote overwhelmingly Republican, the new Black populations are too much for them to overcome.

New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York: The cost of living in the northeast continues to get worse, forcing younger residents to move elsewhere, as they cannot afford rent. These three states are projected to have the oldest populations after the 2050 census.

Maine, Connecticut, and Rhode Island: Republicans in rapidly "blue-ing flee to the more libertarian-leaning New England.
