I think he will, but there might be a real primary challenge.

I hope so. He'll likely run against Harris again, and assuming she doesn't tank the economy I don't see how he manages a win.

The longer he clings to power, the longer the GOP go without legitimate representation that isn't MAGA grifters. Looking at right-wing populism elsewhere across the world, you'll see that when the figurehead loses power they often don't have a successor lined up - and those that do end up in the shadow of the person that won't stop clinging to the idea that they are the "chosen one".

hopefully all this alt right nonsense is just a phase, I can't see my life improving if its not the case.
