So, what happens in 2028? If Harris loses, one assumes she will run in 2028 as the candidate who fell on her sword to try to defeat Trump. I don't know that the Democratic Party will buy that. There will be a battle between Newsome, Shapiro, and maybe Beshear. I expect Shapiro to win based on electability, he will win Pa and that is pretty close to a guaranteed D win in November. Shapiro-Beshear might be a tough ticket.
If Trump loses, one expects Vance to be the frontrunner but far from guaranteed. I think either Youngkin or DeSantis wins. Haley probably lost her shot by staying in against Trump. Assuming in this scenario Trump loses, Vance will carry that loss, I doubt he has the Teflon coating Trump has. The Senators (Cruz, Rubio, et al) always have a hard time winning.
