No, the next generation of MAGA leadership.
You have to build the bench too. Without a successor the movement dies.
This is a major weakness in his decision making process
That was the trouble with the Reagan revolution. Reagan let the RINOs hang around and didn't groom a successor, so the GOPe was back in the saddle even before he left office. But we're starting to build a bench. Besides De Santis, there's Kari Lake, if she can hold on, and maybe even Sarah Sanders in Arkansas.
Reagan had a successor in Kemp. Nancy wanted him to pick Kemp as VP, while RR felt he had to go with Bush to unify the party. RR whiffed on that one, as he could have run with a Communist and still won in 1980.
RR should have listened to Nancy.
