The voting landscape is very different to what it was in 2010. Previously, you've had Bush/Romney voters who are now reliable Democratic voters.
You'll find them in NoVa, Atlanta, Phoenix, etc. They tend to be college educated and affluent.
Compared to 2016, Trump was able to improve in nearly every demographic except for this one.
So it'll be a problem in 2026 because Trump voters will stay home while the Democrats will win the House.
However, it'll help us in 2028 because we'll be able to turn out our base for either JD or Rubio.
The Democrats will double down on the crazy stuff in preparation for 2028 because they'll think that what they're doing is working because after all they'll win the midterms in 2026.
Perhaps, my predictions may be wrong. But I'm fairly confident that we'll have a problem with turning out our voters in 2026 because Trump won't be on the ballot.

I think you are right. Aside from the fact Republican voters are going to be upset at their “Do Nothing” Critters in Congress by then.
