Republican/Republican: 236 EV, 46.3%

SENATE: R+1 --> 52D, 48R
HOUSE: D+2 --> 225D, 210R

If that happens, you can bet NPVIC and some form of proportional US House representation are the first order of business in 2023/25. 

I gather that a lot of Dem strategists are concerned about this, so you would think redistricting commissions and even state constitutional amendments binding a state's EV to the NPV winner would be more of a priority in states that have the initiative.  Michigan, Ohio, Florida and Arizona could all be bound to the NPV winner by constitutional amendment (so there is nothing the legislature can do about it afterwards) if a referendum passed.  It might be possible to have these coincide with a contested Dem primary and uncontested GOP primary.

Hypothetical Scenario:

Lyndon Johnson makes different decisions regarding the Vietnam War, pulling out in 1965, and continuing the same domestic policy as in OTL, and runs for election in 1968.  George Wallace becomes a Republican, and consistently attacks Johnson for withdrawing from Vietnam, narrowly defeating Richard Nixon (who decided to support Johnson policy regarding the Vietnam War) in the 1968 Republican primaries.

Johnson/Humphrey: 370 EV (56.7%)
Wallace/LeMay: 168 EV (43.3%)

Bringing something over from AlternateHistory.com that I posted: a county map of a new scenario I devised. This is not another Rutherford scenario. The premise is that a popular, centrist Democratic incumbent in an alternate timeline defeats a unpopular, extremist Republican candidate, in winning reelection. The map represents a 49-state sweep. Which state is the holdout?:

That is also right. Mississippi is the closest state in this scenario, being decided by 0.99%. Wyoming (1.83%), Oklahoma (2.30%), and Alabama (5.21%) are the next three close states, in that order. West Virginia (7.36%), Idaho (8.25%), Kentucky (9.03%), and Tennessee (9.73%) round out the list of close states.

What would the popular vote look like here? What about the major racial demographics?

You must have gone to the scenario page then, that I wrote for this map.

As for the racial percentages, I assume here that whites are 59-41% Democratic, minorities 83-17% Democratic. There was an earlier scenario on here, where Govanah Jake provided some rough figures for what a 66% Democratic win would look like. I used that as a basis for the scenario.

2016

Fmr. SoS Hillary Rodham Clinton/Sen. Tim Kaine: 307
Mr. Donald Trump/Gov. Mike Pence: 231

2020
HRC decided not to run again in 2020, and the Republicans jumped, nominating Fmr. Senator Kelly Ayotte, and she chose Gov. Doug Ducey as her running mate. Vice President Tim Kaine won the nomination and chose Jeff Merkley as his running mate.

Fmr. Sen. Kelly Ayotte/Gov. Doug Ducey: 279
VP Tim Kaine/Sen. Jeff Merkley: 259

2024
VP Doug Ducey resigned after a scandal, and Ayotte didn't appoint a VP since it was only 5 months till Election Day. She did run with Rand Paul. The Democrats ran Fmr. Rep John Delaney, as many Dems. thought that Ayotte was undefeatable. Delaney ran with Mitch Landrieu, the only one on his shortlist to accept.

Pres. Kelly Ayotte/Sen. Rand Paul: 377
Fmr. Rep. John Delaney/Fmr. Mayor Mitch Landrieu: 161

This is the result of the race w/ all Democratic candidates on and with every Republican that ran IRL 2016 off and all other Republicans on. Mitt Romney swept almost every state in the GOP primaries. Gillibrand was the dark horse of the primary, winning on the 11th DNC ballot. Gillibrand went on to win the election against the popular vote.
Highlights:
NM was 50.2-38.5
CO was R+0.4, won by <9000 votes
RI was R+0.2, won by <1000 votes
MT was 51.7-35.8-12.5
IA, VA were ~ R+2
NH was ~ R+4
FL was ~ R+8
In Indiana, Dems took a majority and won by 11% w/ Johnson at 7%
