I think we'll have Trump to kick around for a while, in that even if Biden wins, Trump is not to disappear from public life to write his memoirs, and he may decide he wants to run in 2024. But if he's not the GOP nominee in 2024, can the party capture his magic without him? A lot of his appeal to people is his perceived authenticity, his putative success as a businessman, his status as an outsider to politics, and his willingness to transgress norms. The people most commonly named as frontrunners for 2024 -- Nikki Haley, Tom Cotton, etc. -- are, for better or worse, not Trump.
