In evaluating the endgame of this turbulent 2024 presidential election, one of the large and unavoidable variables is whether the GOP will fight to overturn a Donald Trump defeat and, if so, to what lengths the party will go.
Trump has made it redundantly clear he won't accept any result if the election is not "fair," and he has already deemed it unfair - even "rigged" on multiple, still-escalating grounds.
We know from what happened four years ago that he will drag the country to the bottom of hell or to the brink of civil war if he thinks it might help him regain the presidency.
There are indeed some new guardrails against a postelection coup created by the Electoral Count Reform Act of 2022, which many Republicans supported, notably Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
