"the population of red counties — counties where Biden beat Trump in 2020"

Do you have that backwards, i.e. red should mean where Trump beat Biden in 2020?

Is it possible that people are moving to red counties and states for other reasons, and bringing their blue politics with them?

Good question. To some extent, I'm sure the answer is yes. And, at the same time, it's notable that so many suburban red counties in the South are growing so quickly -- I suspect it's not a coincidence and says something both about the places people are leaving and where they're moving.
