Donald Trump built his wins in 2016, 2020, and 2024 on one thing nobody talks about enough: turning out low propensity voters, people who only showed up to vote for him specifically, not for a party, not for an ideology, just for Trump. That name will never appear on another ballot again, and the Republican Party is about to feel that in a serious way.
Hawk breaks down what the 2026 midterms could look like without Trump on the ballot, pointing to the primary results in Indiana and Louisiana, where hardcore MAGA voters turned out to punish incumbents like Bill Cassidy, a two-term senator who came in third in his own primary. But primary electorates are not general election electorates, and November 2026 is going to look very different.
JD Vance showed up to a 12,000 seat arena with 2,000 people after Erica Kirk pulled out of the event. Vance thinks he's a viable 2028 presidential candidate. Marco Rubio might have more crossover appeal, but Kristi Noem and Don Jr. don't. Eric Trump is not an upgrade. The Trump dynasty isn't happening.
What's left for the Republican Party when the voters who powered its biggest wins stop showing up? That's the real question heading into 2026, 2028, and beyond.
