Take a look at the chart from Cook Political

Snip-

2020 Electoral College
Democrats have 308 electoral votes in the Solid, Likely and Lean categories and would need 0 electoral votes from the Toss Up column 43 Electoral Votes
Arizona (11) Georgia (16) Maine 2nd CD (1) North Carolina (15)

Republicans have 187 electoral votes in the Solid, Likely and Lean categories and would need 43 (100%) electoral votes from the Toss Up column plus 40 votes from the Lean Democrat column

To see it laid out as only cook political can see the link
