Republicans not caring about the larger and larger popular vote deficits is a real mistake. The US is a highly transit country. People move to different states all the time. When one party consistently wins by 5-10 million votes, they clearly have an advantage that their voters will be in some configuration of states that wins 270+ votes. You can clearly see this phenomenon play out in the Southwest where California's influence has clearly bled out into New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada, and now Arizona.
Anyways, with respect to the original question, the best path for the GOP is to try to hold Ohio, Florida, and Texas. Ohio should be easy. The other two are more questionable. They will need to also hold onto Georgia, I'm more skeptical of them doing this long term. And they will need to take back Wisconsin. That would make Michigan and Pennsylvania the clear battlegrounds. It's basically a strategy that leaves zero room for error, but their only other possibility is to do a massive overhaul of their policy platform and the current faces of their party which are both toxic to suburban voters.
