If Trump loses to Biden in 2024 and DeSantis is rendered radioactive by a bruising primary, or if DeSantis loses to Biden in the 2024 general election, the Republicans are gonna have to look elsewhere, away from Trumpism and its softer variants.
I think the Republicans (well, those of them who don't implode and start trying to go full rebellion) will try to go further in on that "multiracial working class" thing and push for a conservatism that looks something like European Christian Democracy. Spencer Cox may be a good pick. Tim Scott, too. Maybe Joe Lombardo?
Senator Tim Scott is a good choice for sure. Another would be Gov. Brian Kemp.
