That’s an interesting question as it really depends on how you define blue states.

If you define a blue state as one won by Biden in 2020 then yes by far.

If you define a red state as one won by Trump in 2016 then red states have lead the nation in population and have been growing in percentage of the US population since 1970.

However, if you define a red state as one won by Trump in 2016 and 2020 and a blue state as one won by Clinton and Biden in 2016 and 2020, then in 2022 for the the first time since 1943 more American live in red states then blue states.

And let’s say you define a purple state as any won by a a combination Democrat and Republican presidential candidates since 2000, then more Americans have lived in purple states then blue states, starting in 2019, the first time that’s happened since 1917.
