States whose residents most likely to support secession: Alaska, Texas, Calif.

- delichon 3y agoCongressional delegations: California House: 11R 42D, Senate: 2D Texas House: 25R 13D: Senate: 2R Alaska House: 1D, Senate: 2R Totals House: 36R 56D, Senate: 4R, 2D So if all of those exit that's a net loss of 20 Democratic Representatives and 2 Republican Senators. At the moment that would just solidify the current leadership of both houses.
