Over 1 million voters across 43 states have switched to the Republican party over the last 12 months, in what The Associated Press, which ran the analysis, is calling a "dire warning" for the Democratic Party.

The shift is most pronounced in the suburbs, "where well-educated swing voters who turned against [former President Donald Trump's] Republican Party in recent years appear to be swinging back," AP writes. There has also been some GOP momentum "around medium-size cities" like Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and Augusta, Georgia.
