MAGA is unlikely to transfer its allegiance to Vance, and will no longer be a single, powerful voting bloc feared by their GOP congresscritters. With Trump gone there will be a battle for control of the the GOP (Vance is unlikely to succeed to that position, since nobody actually likes him), and non-MAGA constituents might finally have some influence.
