The dems have no one right now. AOC, Shapiro, Whitmer, Walz, Harris, Newsome will not beat Vance. It would be almost impossible to find someone within the next three years, but they could pull something out of their ass, maybe. At this stage, 2028 is the republicans to lose. They have to avoid in fighting. I worry the will have a primary where they rig it to get someone other than Vance to be the candidate, specifically DeSantis or Rubio. I've noticed on SNL they paint Rubio in a very good light. This is strategic. The Dems need some milquetoast nothing to run against because that has worked for them literally every single time in the past. Remember Romney and McCain? No one hated them, no one loved them. They inspired zero passion. Vance inspires passion and passion gets people to the polls.
I believe Trump is holding back on some policies such as mass deportations because it would hit the economy too hard and piss people off. Do the tariffs shit and kick other countries in the ass the first year, let things settle, then kick out the illegals year two and let that settle before 2028.
If I had to put money on it, I'd bet republicans win the next two presidential elections then fuck up 2036 with infighting over who will succeed Vance.
