How can the Republicans win back Georgia and Arizona?

[The Mikado]

We've just made it through 4 years of concern trolling about Dem ability to retake PA, MI, and WI, traditionally Dem states that went GOP by less than a point in 2016.

Well, we now have two traditionally GOP states, GA and AZ, go Dem by less than a point. It's time we spend 4 years concern trolling about that.

AZ is gone, but GA is expected to gain 2 R seats in Redistricting and if Warnock runs for reelection he may lose and Gov Sonny Perdue, Nathan Deal have all been reelected, so will Gov Brian Kemp

Republicans need to run a Southerner who will have a genuine appeal in Georgia. I think when the 65+ group reverts back to voting Republican, Arizona will return to the GOP column.

The Georgia one would work...but I don’t think relying on 65+ to come back is the best Arizona strategy.
The GOP should make inroads in inner-city Phoenix.

Georgia flipped with very little attention be paid to the state and I feel like the best way for the Democrats to win the Georgia run offs may be just to keep them as low profile as possible. Tricky balancing act but I feel like the extreme hype of the SC/KS senate races doomed Democrats there.

The GOP can win Georgia in 2024 yes but it will be trending to the Democrats going forward.

The GA/VA comparisons are a bit simplistic though. It is helpful for GA Democrats that it is 32% black versus Virginia's 19% but it is obvious that VA Democrats do far better in downstate Virginia versus Democrats in non-Atlanta metro Georgia.

Arizona I am genuinely unsure about its prospects for either party. Too many contradictory demographic trends there.

Both can easily flip back to Republicans and will be close in the future.

Maricopa County is going to be a real problem for republicans here in the future and by the 2030s and 2040s I expect it to at least have a lot more urban focuses. But suburbia still reigns strong here, and AZ isn't always the best, but Republicans haven't really helped this state too much either. But I expect candidates to really put this state in the spotlight in the future.

I don't know if it has all the benefits of Virginia's higher education/tech & jobs explosion especially from D.C., but AZ also doesn't have crazy rural pockets, just a lot of sprawl.

Twiddle their thumbs until Harris loses them.

[Real Texan Politics]

Win back the suburbs and try to make gains with black and latino voters. Also don't lose white voters.

Keep the dem winning margin from 3-4% or less
