As for "MAGA" I not sure anyone other than Trump can lead the movement. I could be completely wrong but I got the feeling without Trump at it head there going to be a lot of in fighting and divisions forming with in it ranks that make it hard for any one person to unify it like Trump can. One thing we have see over and over again is an Trump endorsement is not that valuable in a general election. Many Trump picked people lost yesterday in places that Trump won. Don't get me wrong if the Economy booming in 4 years the republican could hold on to power but if it bad Democrats got a great shot who ever the republicans choose.

The only way MAGA gets dropped is if Trumps second term is deemed a failure or if a 2028 candidate comes up with something way better.

If Trumps second term goes well (enough) then MAGA will remain. Vance, DeSantis, Ramaswamy, Gabbard, or even maybe RFK could and likely would continue MAGA, though each would obviously make some (small) adjustments/additions.

I expect all the republicans in the primary to run on MAGA, I just dont think any of them can unite the Trump coalition.  They may all still vote republican if the country doing well but Trump will still be there hero and weather it Desantis, Vance or someone else, they won't love and trust them like Trump.  They be another politician that the second things start going bad they turn on him.

I could be completely wrong but when I see the in fighting in the house of representative over who would be speaker etc that the sense I get.  No matter how tough DeSantis act people are not going to fear him or respect him like Trump for example.
