Vance's selection is not based on traditional political metrics like charisma or electoral strength, but on the desire to maintain a version of Trumpism post-Trump.
Trump's persona, intertwined with his policies, poses the challenge of institutionalizing a movement that thrives on anti-establishment sentiments and demagoguery.
The difficulty lies in transmitting Trump's anti-institutional appeal to a successor, as it has core ties to populism's destabilizing tendencies and anti-elite narratives.
The dangerous allure of populism rests in its critique of established liberal institutions, suggesting they operate primarily for elites rather than the general populace.
