Because whatever happens on the national level affects what happens on the state level.

They are probably hoping for more work availability and higher pay for themselves if they don't have to compete.

Cry more. Americans chose Trump with eyes wide open and deserve everything that's coming to them.

Trump "floods the zone" as general election tests desensitized voters (www.axios.com)
 

Many voters have tuned out — or priced in — Trump's baggage and legal issues to the point where he's now favored to defeat President Biden in November, according to RCP's polling average.

A Suffolk poll out Wednesday found that 49% of voters now approve of Trump's job performance as president — matching the highest point he ever reached in office. The big picture: Financial Times columnist Ed Luce calls this phenomenon "the banality of chaos."

Trump's candidacy is "so far off the charts it is almost paranormal," Luce writes, but most of the former president's controversies no longer break through to the public.

In 2018, former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon argued that the best way to neutralize the media — which he labeled "the real opposition" — is to "flood the zone with shit."
