Republicans Could Win White House Without Rust Belt Due to Census Projections, While Other Political Issues Surface
New projections from the 2030 U.S. Census suggest a significant shift of electoral votes from traditionally Democratic states to Republican states, potentially altering the landscape of presidential elections, according to an analysis by the non-partisan Redistrict Network. This development coincided with other political issues, including Representative Jasmine Crockett's call for impeachment proceedings against former President Donald Trump, a federal judge blocking the deportation of a Minnesota man and his son, Secretary of State Marco Rubio's warning to NATO allies about U.S. resource limitations, and American tennis players facing questions about Trump at the Australian Open.
The Census projections indicate that left-leaning states like California, New York, and Illinois could collectively lose eight congressional seats due to population shifts this decade. Conversely, right-leaning states such as Texas and Florida are projected to gain eight seats. These findings are based on 2025 Census Bureau population estimates and data from previous years. The shift could be a "game changer" in the battle for the presidency.
Meanwhile, in Texas, Representative Jasmine Crockett, a Democrat, advocated for impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump during a debate with Texas State Representative James Talarici at the Texas AFL-CIO political convention. "Crockett said she would support impeachment proceedings against Trump," according to Fox News.
In immigration news, a federal judge in Texas temporarily blocked Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from deporting a 5-year-old boy, Liam Conejo Ramos, and his father, Adrian Alexander Conejo Ramos. U.S. District Court Judge Fred Bierym issued an order blocking ICE from deporting the pair "until further order from this Court," and also prohibited their transfer out of the Western District of Texas. The apprehension of the father and son had drawn criticism from anti-ICE groups.
On the international stage, Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressed NATO allies, conveying that the United States, while wealthy, does not possess unlimited resources and is not solely focused on Europe. "One of the things we've explained to our allies in NATO is the United States is not simply focused on Europe. We also have defense n," Rubio stated at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on U.S. policy toward Venezuela.
Adding to the political discussions, American tennis player Learner Tien shut down questions about Donald Trump and ICE at the Australian Open. Tien, after his quarterfinal loss, was asked about his heritage and the importance of immigrants to American sport in the context of Trump's presidency.
