The economy/inflation was a ticking time bomb and the Dems got stuck holding the bag this time around. It will be the primary issue for voters and will swing voters to the Reps. Abortion rights are not important enough to female Republican voters to flip them and only a small bump from female non-voters will come out for the election. Dems are trying to swing votes with tuition forgiveness and legalization talk but I think their corporate overlords are going to shut down any attempt at passing legislation. They can't even agree on SAFE, which is a no-brainer.
As for POTUS in 2024. If the Republicans run Trump, the Dems have a shot. If they run anyone else... they will win. If the Dems run Biden, the election will be called by 8PM for any Republican candidate, including Trump.

A little reversal of your prediction. Democrats held Senate and Republicans inching toward a slim majority in the House.
Still, the promised red wave never materialized. "Mixed results" best describe the outcome of the 300 or so candidates Trump endorsed this midterm. The Biden administration has done much better compared to the historical stats for the incumbent.
The Donald is "livid" with anger and is blaming everyone, including his wife, for the GOP's lousy performance in this midterm.
I'm wondering if DeSantis coming to power in 2 years could steer the GOP back to its original ideals and make the radicals lose favor among the voting public.
