It cited recent Census Bureau data.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore than 61 percent of the counties that voted for Biden in 2020 lost population, while 65 percent of Trump-supporting counties gained population,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/issuesinsights.com\/2023\/04\/19\/signs-of-the-great-divorce-2-6-million-fled-counties-that-voted-for-biden-since-2020\/\">Issues and Insights analysis<\/a> said. The data showed that some\u00a02,562,937 people moved from Democrat-leaning counties to Republican-leaning counties since Biden was elected in the divisive November 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p>The two counties that lost the most population from net internal migration were Los Angeles County and Cook County, Illinois, which both overwhelmingly voted in favor of Biden. Cook, which includes Chicago, was down about 200,718, while Los Angeles lost about 363,000 people since the election.<\/p>\n<p>California, which has a Democrat governor and legislature, experienced \u201ca massive net outflow\u201d of people\u2014871,127\u2014in the past two years. New Jersey, which has a Democrat-controlled legislature and a Democrat governor, lost 107,000 people in the same time period, although the analysis noted that red counties in the Garden State gained 22,507.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile many of the blue counties that lost population were urbanized,\u201d it said, \u201cthe exodus was widespread and nationwide, including many far more sparsely populated liberal areas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the largest loss suffered by any red county or equivalent was Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, which was down by 18,470, the analysis found.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the other hand, blue counties lost population in states that saw overall gains,\u201d the analysis noted. \u201cFor example, Florida had a net gain of 622,476 over the past two years. But counties that backed Biden nevertheless lost 3,374. Georgia had a large gain of 128,089, but blue counties still had a net loss of 28,178. Tennessee saw an increase of 146,403 people, but counties that voted for Biden saw a decline of 37,306.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Earlier Calls<\/h2>\n<p>Earlier this year, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) posted on social media about the prospects of a \u201cnational divorce\u201d occurring within the country, noting that the differences between Republican and Democratic voters are simply too great on a range of issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government,\u201d Greene <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mtgreenee\/status\/1627665203398688768\">wrote<\/a> in February during Presidents\u2019 Day.\u00a0\u201cEveryone I talk to says this.
