Trump was instrumental in getting the Chaos Caucus to cave and allow McCarthy to become Speaker. In a House caucus that was literally at each others' throats Friday night, there is no unifying figure. Trump remains - by default - the one figure in the GOP who can unite the Chaos Caucus and white supremacists with the corporate wing who just want to cut each others' taxes.
For all the sage predictions of Trump's demise and the occasional principled stand against him by people like Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, it's worth remembering that the latter two are no longer in Congress, because they opposed Trump.
So, Trump runs - likely under active indictment on multiple fronts - and that means Biden likely runs, too.
