The idea that it will matter if Democrats nominate Shapiro vs Buttigieg vs Whitmer in 2028, if Trump is elected in 2024, is a category error. It shows we still don't really grasp, as a society, the far right authoritarian threat we are dealing with, despite years of warnings from the Cassandras.

Yes, of course, there will be a presidential election in 2028. No, we have no guarantee that the two-term rule will be respected. And, once tens of millions of Americans are systematically disenfranchised through shenanigans designed to restrict suffrage, these elections will not be "democratic."
