The u. S. Population has increased to over 331 million. Our hallie jacksons been watching this hallie, what does this shift mean politically . Reporter lester, in the immediate short term republicans seem to have the advantage. The Census Count matters because it determines how many seats each state gets in the house of representatives. So under these latest numbers Donald Trump would have gained and President Biden would have lost three electoral votes if this had been the landscape in november. States in the South And West are growing the fastest. Five of them are adding a seat. And texas picks up two. Some democratic strongholds will lose a seat seven states total, notably california and New York, where by the way if only 89 more people had been counted New York would have kept that seat. Still, the bigger piece to the puzzle comes when states redraw their districts and that wont happen for a few more months. Lester the political math to all this.
