The way it looks right now (and it absolutely could change), the Republican vote is already split down the middle. Roughly 55% of people who voted for Trump last year would do so again.
If 100% of Trump voters weren't enough to win him the presidency in 2020, I find it very unlikely that 55% would put him over the top in 2024. Coupled with a survey done of CPAC attendees in which only 68% of attendees want Trump to run again, I suspect that a second Trump candidacy will have the life expectancy of a glass hammer.
