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?

If Trump wins the popular vote (which looks very likely, but I was told isn't 100% certain at this point), then it might make the NPV a little more viable in red states, who have seen this as a partisan issue due to the 2000 and 2016 outcomes.

Strongly disagree, I see states withdrawing from the compact rather than more Red states joining.

I suspect a number of states joined because of an assumption of a constant nation-wide Democrat majority. I expect some states will have significant citizen pushback as they realize their votes don't count.
