What U-Haul charges to rent a truck to move to another state is one real-time indication of the imbalance of people migrating. Because an empty truck doesn’t drive itself back to California, the DIY moving company must pay people to reposition its fleet. As a result, renting a 26-foot truck from Austin to Silicon Valley will set you back $1,084 – but moving from the once-Golden State to the Lone Star State will cost the new Texan $5,896, more than five times as much—the highest that ratio has been in at least a decade.
and....
But there may be a silver lining for California; the Biden administration’s plans to push ahead with expensive energy regulations and higher taxes will mean that moving to Texas or Florida won’t be as attractive, since Biden and Harris aim to use executive orders and regulation to impose California’s self-inflicted misery nationwide.

No. Too early in the morning for you ? Kalifornia is already blue. Kalifornia bitched about President Trump threatening to send all illegals to Kalifornia's sanctionary cities. The plan is to turn other States blue.

That is a distinct possibility. California's newly arriving illegals, unlike southern states' illegals, tend to stay in Calif and not move farther East or North.

Did a bit of research on how this is supposed to work, didn't find much but, it appears that each of the involved states will have to redraw districts prior to the next election and then it'll be an interesting primary to see which Rep gets the job(s). Someone in CA and the other losing states will be out of a job. This is a good thing (I'm thinking).
The gaining states will also be redistricting to add those Reps. Interesting times we're living in.
I have no doubt the Dems will be doing everything they can, both legal and maybe not so legal to get all those new non-citizens Illegal aliens registered to vote.
With that moron Gavin Newsom officially headed for the recall election and now this news, I couldn't be happier. SLOWLY cleaning the cesspool. We just need to keep it from stinking up again.
While I do hope this comes to fruition, I've learned to not count my chicks before the eggs hatch.

I don't disagree with that sentiment but in this case it looks like the Republicans now control more of the chicken coops, the chickens, the eggs and the incubators.
Don't forget that this last general election was also very bad for the Left in the vast majority of down ballot races across the country.

You neglected to mention Texas gained four more Electoral College votes.
A state's number of electors is equal to it's Congressional delegation, so Texas got two additional electors not four, but knowing how leftists feel things I didn't want to break that additional bit of bad news to them too fast.

An Englishman, Frenchman, Texan, and Mexican are flying on a small plane with their friends. Near the end of the flight, they notice two engines catch fire.
The pilot comes out and says, "One of our engines caught fire, and we need to have three people jump in order to save the rest of the passengers.
The Englishman stands up, yells, "Long live the queen!", and jumps out.
The Frenchman stands up, yells, "Viva la France!", and jumps out.
The Mexican stands up, and looks out of the door, considering jumping, when the Texan pushes him out, and yells, "Remember the Alamo!"
"Democrats' best chance this year to pad their slim House majority suddenly evaporated Saturday night, as Republicans claimed both runoff spots in the special election for a fast-changing House seat outside Fort Worth."
