I'm not sure this is the right way to think about it.
With the Electoral College, you have to win swing state voters. Trump did this in 2016. Obama did this in 2008.
Warren will need to do the same or else she'll end up with the popular vote and adoration from the coastal states and lose the election. And she currently polls much worse than her fellow contenders in swing states and among former Trump voters.
