Wait for the continued growth in the Nashville area and the greater polarization between urban/suburban areas and rural areas. Probably gonna have to wait at least 20ish years.

Meh, Diane Black would have probably done worse than Blackburn in a gubernatorial race against Dean. It’s not impossible for them to win statewide, but it’s arguably the hardest state for a Democrat to win nowadays.

The irredeemable pit known as Arkansas says hello.

I'd say it's Idaho. A Democrat hasn't won a Senate election there since the 1974, or a gubernatorial election since 1990, and it hasn't shown any signs of trending left.

The rapid growth in Idaho, particularly with folks from California, could push Idaho left and due to its smaller base population than say Tennessee, it wouldn’t take that much.
