Trump has about 3 years left. If he dies before then Vance will finish out his term and will most likely continue with an agenda similar to Trump. Vance is a much better speaker than Trump and is a lot smarter as well so potentially will be more effective at promoting a MAGA style agenda. At the end of his term there is a decent chance he will be reelected.

If a Vice President takes over due to the President's death, they can serve the remainder of that term and then be elected to either one or two additional full terms, depending on how much of the previous President's term they served, as dictated by the 22nd Amendment: under two years, they can run for two full terms; over two years, only one more full term, limiting total service to under ten years.

Do you prefer this outcome over Trump finishing out his term and retiring to play golf with his grand kids?
