People that are registered Republicans or consistently vote Republican make up a little under half of the overall population, current population in the US is around 340M (last time I checked, it’s been a minute), so 140M is a fairly conservative (ha!) guess at how many people would more-or-less be Republican, or lean Republican.

No Republican candidate has ever gotten anywhere close to 140 million votes. Your numbers are a wild overestimate. Half the country is not Republican nor is half the country Democrat.
