Jesus Christ, the delusion in this thread is something. LA trended and swung left in 2012 and elected a Democratic Governor in 2015. Are we to believe that will become a blue state as well? Lol. Vermont trended hard right in 2016 and elected a Republican Governor so i guess that’s going back to its RINO roots
Delusion is everywhere on Atlas.
Well tbf to OP, the question was just if Kansas moved left. R+20 to R+15 still counts as moving left.
My guess is that it's a bit of both. Kansas is surprisingly suburban as others have said, so it's unsurprising that we are seeing a smaller version of the leftward trend in major metros. That said, the Denocrats had almost perfect timing in 2018. They got to follow an unpopular GOP governor in a very Dem friendly national environment. I expect to see a decent sized snap back to the right over the next several years as they won't have that perfect combination again anytime soon.
