2020: Pence (R) vs. Buttigieg (D) if Trump resigns over Ukrainegate

What would the map look like if Trump resigns tomorrow and these are the 2020 candidates?

This would be an interesting race. I think Pence would be doomed due to Trump's scandal and the lack of passion for him among the hardcore Trump base. But he would run a discplined campaign that saves him from a too crushing defeat. Buttigieg wins

AZ and IA could go either way here, but Butti would even win without them.

✓ Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D-IN)/Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA): 296 EVs.; 50.6%
President Mike Pence (R-IN)/Vice President Nikki Haley (R-SC): 242 EVs.; 46.3%

No way he wins Iowa. White working class voters just don't want a young intellectual upstart. They like them white-haired and plain-talking.

But he could inspire younger people to come out in Florida and snatch it by around 1%.

He would overperform in Indiana too, though not enough to carry it.
