I can't remember where I saw this, but in modern history, one-term presidents have been the result of a strong movement against them within their own party. If the GOP remains behind Trump, then he should coast to another four years based on historical precedent. If a popular Republican sows division from within, then it will be more of a fight. But that's the only way that I see, right now, a Democrat being in the White House come 2021 with current events as they are.

All of that being said, there is a lot of time between now and November 2020. Any attempts to predict anything this far out are a fool's errand.

I predict more of the same--so long as the GDP grows, we'll see the steady normalization of all this: chaos in the White House, leaks, undoing foreign policy, confusion among our allies, blowback from tariffs, money scandals, sex scandals, racial and gender division, coarsening of public dialogue, and perhaps another shutdown as Trump "keeps his promises."
