Or something.
Eh. Basically. Though I admit, I'm not sure how this works. If Biden bows out, like, at the 2024 election, that doesn't automatically mean Harris is the defacto democrat pick. And she's horribly unpopular even with her own party and even a lot of the crazier people on the left.
The best thing he could have done was sit back and support, from a comfortable distance, whoever the republican candidate for 2024 would end up being. That way you get the Trump voters and you don't (hopefully) get all the hysteria with it.
Though I don't put a huge amount of confidence that -- no matter who the republican pick would be, if it wasn't Trump -- would just end up, bolstered by the media, on some circus about "so-and-so is even WORSE than Trump! Democracy is at an end if he wins!" And so on. But at least there'd be a chance, you know?

eh, they were pretty much already getting ready to pull the whole 'EVEN WORSE THAT TRUMP!!!111' thing on DeSantis as is. Until a few months ago, we were all assuming Trump wouldn't run again and DeSantis was sure to the Republican candidate so there were already minor hit-pieces here and there going with the 'he was gonna exactly like or even worse than Trump' narrative,so yeah.
Trump gave the left the perfect scapegoat for everything. Bush Jr was incompetent but nobody even remembers him anymore. Now it's all Trump, Trump, Trump, and even if he loses this term or even wins and is finally over and done with, they'll still compare whoever the next Republican candidate in 2028 to him.
The left is obsessed with Hitler, and Trump has become their modern day equivalent.
