And even if Ms. Harris should succeed him in an untimely fashion, she’s no LBJ with decades of leadership in the Senate knowing where the bodies were buried to call upon, merely a first term senator elected from a reliably Democrat state.

Washington DC will simply go back to Pre-Trump, or very nearly so.
Likely. A bit more polarized, but the incensed MAGA voters will probably balance out the squad extremists. The new administration knows that if they pizz off enough people early on they might not last. And recall that Trump has only served four of his allowable eight years, so there's always that hanging out there... both parties would be wise to keep that in mind
