Shift 4% of the vote from 2016 to 2020, and the Republicans lose 102 electoral votes from 2016 by losing in order Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida, Arizona, North Carolina, and end up losing the electoral vote 334 to 204 with an even swing alone.
Of course this assumes that the Republicans will be as unpopular now as they now are -- and that there will be a free and fair election in 2020, which may be a big question. Republicans may be in no position to lose the election due to personal consequences, like not having a choice of their extended stays.
