Every time an incumbent is challenged by a member of their own party that party loses the general election. I do not think that would be a good outcome in 2028.

Furthermore, I think it is likely that if tfg loses (please god) R's will regroup around the non-MAGA wing. The Cheneys, Kinziger et al will leave off supporting Harris in a heartbeat and D's will have a serious problem even maintaining victory as incumbent. If she were to face a challenge from inside the party too there is no way she will be president on Jan 21, 2029.

That's technically true but the sample size is so small I don't think you can really extrapolate anything from it, though it does feel like having a challenger does reveal some sort of weakness in the incumbent

Supposing it's true that the slightly less evil wing of the GOP ditches Harris in 2028, maybe it means that she stops shitting on the left/pro-peace wing of the party. A boy can dream...
