I suspect the other blue states are going to see how this plays out before making a move.

I could see Michigan following suit if California is successful. We are so tied to Canada in terms of energy and the automotive industry.

I think Minnesota would also follow suit quite expediently.

MN would certainly try, but tragically our state House is no longer in pure DFL majority control, there's a 50:50 split between DFL and GOP, so our ability to do things that actually help people like we've been doing for the last few years is stunted.

Hopefully the DFL has a great midterm in 2026 and we can scrap sharing power with the morally and literally bankrupt MN GOP.
