isn’t true that Tennessee will turn blue before Texas. Every election, the Dems get closer to winning the electoral votes of Texas. This is a fact, a confirmed trend. The blue cities and suburbs keep growing and the red rural areas keep shrinking. Unless the change stalls, Texas will be blue by 2032 or 2036, just based on current trends, Tennessee is far more red and far less likely to turn blue.
