2024: Ann Wagner/Barbara Comstock vs. Martin O'Malley/Stephen Webber

[Suburbia]

Eight years of Trump-Pence leads the GOP to an open presidential primary. Affluent Missouri Rep. Ann Wagner wins the 2024 Republican presidential nomination over Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, New Jersey Rep. Jack Ciattarelli, and Texas Gov. Ken Paxton.

Wagner appeals to economic conservatives, social conservatives and Republican-leaning Independents.

This would likely show that, given the nominees, Trump’s second term was particularly bad and alienated a lot of Republicans, causing them to revert to pre-Obama conservatism.
