The recently rebranded Washington Sun, formerly NOTUS, called it a “Bluenami.” The Assembly dubbed it the “Republicans’ Red Wedding” (if you missed the Game of Thrones reference, just know it’s a wedding, and it goes very badly). Though polling, pundits, and prediction markets all pointed to Democrats making significant gains this year, plenty of people — myself included — were genuinely shocked at how many races they won and by how much, from coast to coast, up and down the ballot, even in places you wouldn’t expect.

Both are drawing people relocating from across the state, many of whom choose the coast for more space and lower costs while commuting to Wilmington or Jacksonville for work, according to county officials.
