What blue exodus? I don't think there's any such exodus, and there are undoubtedly also liberal folks moving in to New York.

I was talking about the hypothetical, how you can have a causal relationship of NY red turn and swing states bluing.

That's why I didn't mention Florida.

Yeah. FL vs NY case is kinda interesting as well. NY is the top source of transplants into FL, and obviously the transplants are quite red. So everything being equal, shouldnтАЩt there be a red exodus (this is not hypothetical) that turns NY further bluer?

In theory, but there could be countervailing trends by remaining residents in places like Long Island.

Yea. Exactly my point. There is likely not a causal relationship. But some other things caused the movements in FL, swing states, and NY.
