If he dies before they are able to really get the structural changes in P2025 off the ground, Trump’s death will likely instigate the death of the movement. If it dies after that the P2025 restructuring has happened, won’t matter.
No doubt he’s smart, he hitched his wagon to the Trump train after all - but I don’t think that’s particularly important.
He doesn’t have Trump’s charisma, so he’d struggle to maintain control over his fan base and would likely face challenges from key faces in the cohort (eg. Ron DeSantis, MTG etc.)
This is basically my reasoning as well, he will most likely be eaten alive by the true believers and power brokers will break him over knee. All of Vance’s influence is derived from Trump. And especially if Trunp dies before inauguration he may very well become irrelevant depending on certain factors.
I’m actually way more afraid of Vance in the presidency than Trump.
Why is that? He lacks the cult of personality to be able to carry on after Trump IMO, and was largely picked as a ‘Yes Man’.

Probably because he’s smarter.
