All of my in-laws and extended in-laws are Democrats and none of them approve of it but they will not vote any other way. Except my FIL did say he doesn't know who he's voting for these next elections but it won't be democrat. I'm not sure what tripped his trigger but it must have been serious for him to make that decision.

If Mike Pence or Nikki Haley were nominated for the GOP, I think they'd appeal to at least some moderate Democrats and independents over Biden. I think the progressive wing on the left is losing some influence. I think the MAGA Republicans are staying pretty dedicated to their candidate but they have much less of a margin for error. Personally would love to see some viable third party candidates but it's just not going to happen with our system.
