The easiest way is to sweep the blue wall, which gets her to 270.
She could win GA/AZ/NV and she would need either MI (274) or PA (278). If she flppped NC it would get her to 275.

Has to hold everything from 2020. Then flip AZ/GA and 1/3 blue wall states.
Add WI gets him 272
Add MI gets him 277
Add PA gets him 281
He can also not win AZ/GA and sweep all 3 blue wall states for 279.
