Does the “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) movement ride or die with Donald Trump?
That’s the question we here at Sky News posed to former Trump White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci.
In an interview hosted by Saxo, Mr Scaramucci discussed the prospect of another Republican – like JD Vance – picking up where Mr Trump left off should he lose this election.
“I don’t think that Vance can pick up the torch,” he said.
“He is an articulate guy, but I think he’s too close to Donald Trump at this point, and I think he gets absorbed in the heat blast, meaning if Trump implodes, he gets eviscerated.
If Mr Trump wins, Mr Vance will be “destroyed” in the same way that Mike Pence was in the wake of the 2020 election, he added.
“Vance is too close to Donald Trump – he’s finished. He’ll never be able to come out of it.”
What happens to the party if Mr Vance can’t “pick up the torch”, then?
“The Mitt Romney, John McCain [era] of the party’s over,” Mr Scaramucci said.
“You now have this fusion party of MAGA and hard right cultural issues with normal public Republican party principles.”
So who picks it up?
“If you poll these people, they like Tucker Carlson the most, they see him as the leader of the party.
“I don’t think Vance can be the leader of the party and I don’t think the Republican party under Trump can, in other words, be the MAGA movement and Trumpism cannot hold.
“That’s a personality cult. So I don’t know what comes in its wake, but it won’t be that.”
