MAGA Is Forced to Confront a Future Beyond Trump

Washington Post: “MAGA is certainly muddled, as its rank-and-file voters look to leaders outside of the Trump administration, have crossed over to Democrats or disengaged from politics altogether. There is no consensus about who should run in 2028 and plenty of skepticism for Vice President JD Vance, who once seemed the heir apparent. Like Trump or not, everyone agrees his vacuum will be hard to fill.”

“Right-wing influencers increasingly critical of Trump were declaring themselves vindicated by his rebuke in the midterms.”
