What about people who didn't vote for Trump either of the first two times, but would do so if it came to that again? It's a lot easier to hold your nose for one smell while another smell is fresh.

Do you think Republicans will pick up more seats in congress in 2026 and 2028 if Biden is elected in 2024 or Trump is?

IMO, Biden v Trump 2024 is a poison pill for the whichever party wins the presidency. Political power is about more than who’s sitting in the white house.

I don't think it will matter much. Everyone's mind is made up already; the relative lack of movement in 2022 proved that. The parties will dig their heels in and back whoever boosts their power, which doesn't necessarily mean beating the other side.
