The map below from the WSJ shows which states had net inter-state migration gains (in blue) and which states had net migration losses. What’s remarkable is that only six states that voted for Kamala Harris had gains.

- Colorado
- Delaware
- Maine
- New Hampshire
- Virginia
- Washington
-
Two of these states – New Hampshire and Virginia – are purple not blue states and have Republican governors. Meanwhile, Harris won 13 states that were losing population to domestic migration.
California has lost more than 2.5 million people due to domestic outmigration and its meager population growth in recent years comes entirely from international migration:
