There will be another election in four years

The expectation is that Biden won't run again because - well we know why - so Harris is favourite to be the Democratic nominee.

I also think Trump will want to run again. He has a very passionate and loyal fanbase who will get him the nomination if he wants it.

Depends if he's still able to qualify

Re: U.S Election 2020

Unless Trump concedes he can still investigate and dispute this in court so it's not over yet.

Depends if he resigns then Pence pardons him. Not sure if he can qualify to run again if he resigns first.

He'll be in jail by then. Lock him up.

He might hunker down at his golf course, building a massive wall around it. He and everyone else will be happy, so that's all good.

They seem to be civil suits so jail time is unlikely. Trivialities.

He can, but so far the grounds they're trying in the court to date aren't enough to change the result.

Well they haven't investigated the ballots yet. The law moves slowly.

So everyone else including his millions of supporters will be happy?

A concession wouldn't prevent him from going via the courts.

I think it's very unlikely to get anywhere in the courts. They can't overturn the votes of a state and - at the moment - it looks like even if they could they would need to overturn more than one state to get him under 270 votes.

Remember in the case of Pennsylvania Biden has won this without those ballots that are part of the legal actions.

He won't concede if he thinks he can win in courts, that isn't how he crafts narratives. I guess it is up to state legalities if the counts get modified, but I don't think 2 states would be difficult if he can pull out overt recount descrepencies in both cases.

There's also the little matter of evidence. Courts are pedantic about that sort of thing. Apparently tweets don't count.
