2030s? Four years of ineffective and/or damaging neoliberal/centrist policies from a Biden presidency all but assures Republicans are probably regaining control by 2024.
Trump has been an absolute gift to neoliberals because his antics have allowed them to pin most of the current issues in the U.S. on Trump, when in reality it's the previous 40-50 years of policies (you could argue the foreign policy nonsense dates back to the Truman administration) that have put the U.S. where it is today.
