Idaho is the new ‘red state’ haven where residents of some of America’s most Liberal cities are now fleeing to escape crime and chaos

Americans from liberal west coast states are fleeing in greater numbers to a neighboring red state to escape political riots, homelessness and crime.

Idaho appears to be where disaffected residents of California, Oregon and Washington are now flocking to, with the state’s population surging by 12 per cent in just five years.

Husband and wife Nick Kostenborder and Ashley Manning are among those who brought their then-9-month-old son to Sandpoint to escape Portland.
