Looks like a 2-man race, Trump and DeSantis.  I will go for the latter in the primary for sure but am pretty sure if Trump runs he will be the nominee.....and we will lose in 2024.  What will ensure a Trump nomination is if 20 others get in the race and split the non-Trump vote.  He will get 30% to 35% minimum from the die hard fans.  As for the midterms, I am of the opinion that abortion was the deciding factor and not the quality of Trump or non-Trump candidates.  I can assure you no one could have beaten the Philly and Pittsburgh vote machine (legal and otherwise).  When I lived there illegal voting was the norm but it was always two Dems vying for the majority of them.  Mostly if you have the Philly machine you were the state-wide winner.
