One possible scenario for 2024:
Using the new electoral vote map after the 2020 census, this map assumes Kari Lake will be elected AZ governor and another democracy denier will be elected secretary of state in Nevada and possibly another one becomes governor there, so that those states will be rigged in favor of Trump or the Trump clone. But Biden had a pretty big lead for the fascists to overcome. Governor Kemp of Georgia may be horrible, but he did not do Trump's bidding in 2020 and Sec. of State Raffensberger held fast for honest elections. Continued demographic shift there may allow the Democrat (probably Joe Biden) to win again there, but Wisconsin is too tight to assume a Democratic win there. So it may depend on Georgia, and if it goes Republican too then Trump and Co. will assume the presidency again, to the detriment of any hope for continued democracy or action on climate change or inequality, etc. This is just a possible scenario and not a prediction. I know that democracy deniers on the local level in MI may rig the popular vote there. I am not sure Biden can win, but Democratic chances plummet if he doesn't run because Harris then becomes the odds on favorite to get nominated and she is a sure loser.
By 2024, despite Biden's hopes, both sides will say that if they lose the election was rigged. The difference is, if the Republicans say it they will be wrong, but if the Democrats say it they will be right.
