These States are generally considered to be “blue” states.

North Carolina is the main exception on that list, often being considered a swing state, but leaning Republican in recent presidential elections. Arizona has also become more competitive, though it has leaned Democratic in recent presidential elections after historically being a Republican stronghold.
