Samsung Joins Blue-State Exodus, Moves U.S. HQ From New Jersey to Texas
5th June 2026
We’re still trying to settle on a name for the new “Rust Belt” for blue states, where high taxes, de-growth climate policies, permitting paralysis, and an obsession with woke governance have sparked a historic outflow of people, businesses, and capital to red states.
The old Rust Belt was hollowed out by decades of deindustrialization. This new version in blue states is being hollowed out by self-inflicted progressive policy failures after policy failures after policy failures.
The latest, and one of the most abrupt examples, is South Korean tech giant Samsung Electronics shifting its U.S. headquarters from lefty-controlled New Jersey to red-state Texas, which is governed by common sense.
Time to leave.
