I feel sorry for little Ronny DeSantis, dropping out so early while his archrival Gavin Newsom is still running for President (in 2028).
I do think that the Supreme Court will allow Trump to remain on the ballot, and that this will ultimately spell the doom of the republic. Perhaps not right away, or even in our lifetimes. But we don't get Octavian becoming Augustus without Caesar, and we don't get Caesar's seizure of power without the example of Sulla. Normalizing seditious behavior becomes precedent for the next would-be dictator.
