Unlikely unless the Republican Party starts winning the popular vote once in a while. Ronald Reagan was the last Republican president to win the popular vote.

Bush 2 won it at his re-election, but Regan was the last Republican to win his initial term with a popular vote (and no incumbent advantage).

Also of note is that of the five times the popular vote winner did not win, four of those times it was the Republican who won and once it was the more conservative of the two parties (before the Republicans existed).

So yeah, the EC so far has only ever benefited the Conservative Party.

And Trumpism ensures they will never win the popular vote again.

A Lincoln Party or some other new, reformed, conservative party of integrity would stand a chance however—something I welcome, though I would not vote that way.

I think it's easy to say that as someone who wouldn't vote for them, but the Republican party faces the same problem as the Democratic party there. Many Republican and Democratic voters only choose their party because they think it's slightly better than the alternative. As someone who sits firmly on the left side of the aisle I'm strongly motivated to vote, not because the Democrats offer meaningful progress but because they're holding the line against political actions I see as abhorrent.
