6 of the states considered solidly-Democratic are among the 10 most populous in the country. Meanwhile, the second most populous solidly-Republican states, Alabama, ranks 23rd. This gives Democrats a decided advantage in reaching 270 electoral college votes for the presidency: solidly-Democratic states constitute 164 votes; even including leaning-Republican with solidly-Republican, these states only total 76 votes.
