Does the GOP have a chance in 2024?

The blue wall is 235-ish EV due to 2020 census changes. DeSantis needs to win Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania or he has no chance.

DeSantis? I'm pretty sure trump will be the nominee. And yes they have a chance. 2016 showed there's no such thing as a blue wall

Yeah, I'd like to see the basis for the claims that a) the Democratic party has 235 electoral votes more or less in the bag, b) that's due to the 2020 census change, but OP needs to find a source for their claim that the Democratic party committed some kind of fraud in Arizona Georgia and Pennsylvania in the 2020 election first, so we might be waiting a while on that

Also, if Trump ends up in jail, it’s pretty reasonable to assume that all of his support will go to DeSantis by default, and then he would be the nominee. There’s still a chance that DeSantis ends up as his running mate, and then they both collectively gut any remaining institutions of democracy in the US.

I don't see how that's possible. There's no law on the books that says a person in prison can't be elected President, and you can bet Trump fans will jump all over it.
