I think that Donald Trump choosing JD Vance was so important to cement this new vision of the Republican Party. It was a legacy pick because it means that this America First MAGA message is going to continue into the future, many years into the future.View on YouTube
The prediction is explicitly long‑term: that Trump’s choice of JD Vance "means that this America First MAGA message is going to continue into the future, many years into the future." Evaluating whether a faction will dominate a major party for "many years" requires observing intra‑party dynamics over multiple election cycles, not just the immediate aftermath of the 2024 election and the 2025 political environment. As of November 30, 2025, only one election cycle (2024) and part of one presidential term have elapsed since the prediction (July 2024), which is not enough to determine whether the MAGA / America First faction will continue to dominate the Republican Party for "many years" beyond 2024. Therefore, the accuracy of this prediction cannot yet be determined.
