I feel like PA, MD, NJ and DE would be interested in joining if this all kicks off. Wait until next year and you could get VA in there too once Youngkin leaves office.

Pennsylvania seems like it may be a stretch? I know there are deep red parts of the state (and that “Pennsyltucky” is a thing for a reason)

Yeah, it might be tough but they have Shapiro and one chamber in the lege. I think the Pennsyltucky parts of the state would try to secede like what WV did back during the civil war.
