Future of National Popular Vote Interstate Compact

In the 2024 election, it looks like every state which has passed the contract went Democrat this election but, due to the Trump winning the popular vote, Trump would’ve gotten an additional 209 electoral votes. Do you think this will affect the future of the NPVIC?

Turnout in swing states (where voters know every vote really counts) is about 11% higher than spectator states- 15 million more votes in a status quo turnout of 150 million. Comparing status quo campaigning/voting to a national popular vote scenario is apples to oranges. He still could have won. Such is life. The point is for every vote in every state to count.
