35. Before that happens, it would go to vote of the house and senate

Each state delegation in the new house would get one vote to elect the new potus.

The senate would vote to elect the new vpotus.

Unfortunately, with the makeup of state delegations, even if we retake the house, the gop would still have a majority of state delegations, and thus would get to appoint the next potus.
