If Trump runs in 2024 and Ron DeSantis decides to pass, somebody will have to lead the opposition to Trump

EXCERPTS:
So, what is the case for Cotton? He is a bridge between the establishment clawing to regain control of the Republican Party and the populists that wish to tear down legacy conservative institutions in order to rebuild it. “When Cotton rose to speak, he argued that he had developed appeal to the populist and establishment wings of the party, which he contended would serve him well in a primary,” Alex Isenstadt wrote.
Foreign policy will be an important part of the 2024 field if a candidate strikes the right chord. President Joe Biden is failing to tackle the challenge of China and Republicans from varying ideological tribes are concerned. However, the Trump-era base that Josh Hawley and other populist-right politicians are appealing to is tired of separating foreign policy from domestic policy. Offshoring jobs to China is the gripe of many Republicans, and they’re tired of hearing about solutions that involve trade deals and tax cuts. The base wants something coherent, and they want it now.
Cotton does not ignore the concerns of ordinary people when discussing foreign policy. In fact, support for the common good is foundational to Cotton’s anti-China playbook. He introduced a bill to raise the minimum wage gradually to $10, indexing the future wage to inflation, and mandating E-Verify to ensure compliance with immigration laws. Alongside Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Cotton proposed legislation that would prevent Big Tech from “making killer acquisitions that harm competition and eliminate consumer choice.” The logic is simple: If the federal government is unwilling or unable to improve the lives of America's citizens directly, then China has already won.
Law and order is another crucial issue for Cotton, and his stance is rightfully uncompromising. Cotton’s well-known “Send In The Troops” op-ed for the New York Times called for the Trump administration to utilize the Insurrection Act against rioters during the summer of 2020. Democrats decried Cotton’s essay, and the newspaper added a disclaimer at the beginning that says the piece “should not have been published.”
Yet when the events of Jan. 6 occurred, Cotton issued a press release reiterating his stance against political violence. “The principle remains the same: no quarter for insurrectionists,” he declared. This stance was suddenly commended by the Left, but only Cotton emerged with his credibility intact.
