I'm not sure why you would think anyone would need to replace Trump as "orange man bad". He's not going to go anywhere. He's going to continue to insist he was robbed of the election, that Biden is illegitimate and that he is the real President. He's going to continue to attract attention to himself, and the media will continue to give it to him because he's such a sideshow. And while the Democrats will no doubt impugn McConnell - which I'd note they have already been doing for many years - they're going to still be talking about Trump as well, just as Trudeau continues to talk about Stephen Harper (not that there's a comparison between them).
The strategy in 2022 and 2024, clearly, will be "don't let the Trump administration back into power".
