I think it's mostly because Tennessee is just like Florida, a sponge for tax-averse right-wing refugees from blue states. The same types of people moving to Fort Myers, Florida, are also moving to Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

Hmmm. That is a problem, especially considering TN is more red than FL.
On the other hand, Gloria Johnson has been focusing on meeting voters in all-99 county diners over a month ago. She’s certainly doing effective retail politics, even if Marsha Blackburn is heavily favored to win the race.
Agree, it’s within the realm of possibility that TN becomes the Republicans biggest “safe” state depending on TX and FL trends. That really doesn’t put them in a great position to win the presidency. Will be interesting to watch the trends of Nashville to see if it could ever become an Atlanta and make the state competitive.
I know a right wing retired Latino cop from LA who moved his family of 6 to Tennessee for exactly that reason. From social media the fairly moderate adult daughter married an undereducated local RWNJ and swung seriously rightward from the multiple degreed L.A. party girl I knew.
On the other hand, my fairly liberal “aunt” (who moved from WV to CA in the early 80’s) also sold her place in OC and moved back East to Tennessee in retirement, unfortunately she has since lost a long battle with cancer.

I'm sorry.
Is Governor Bill Lee running TN like Governor Ron DeSantis? Or have TN's tax incentives been in the state for a long time?
