Will there be next US elections?

• chgs 2y ago
  Next national elections are the midterms in November 2026 with a new house and senate taking over in Jan 2027, 22 months time. If the American people want to shift track they have the opportunity to actually elect a Congress which will do something. If not it’s November 2028 for the next presidential election. Trump (if he’s still alive - he’s not exactly young or healthy) won’t be able to stand for a third term unless a constitutional ammendment is past

      MAGA is essentially a personality cult. There will be a massive power vacuum once Trump leaves the stage, and I doubt any fraction will be big enough to whip the kind of unwavering loyalty we're seeing today.

        Typically in these situations you get infighting, splintering and general collapse of the movement. The question is will it happen soon enough to mitigate some of the damage.

        Would you have some examples from modern history of power vacuum not being filled in, say, 1 year?
