I believe this is all just speculation, and the media tends to sensationalize things. While I don't think he will completely leave us alone, I can see him working towards finding common ground with Democrats. In fact, I have a feeling that the Democrats will make gains in the House in the next 2 years.
I also have a positive outlook that he won't prioritize ending things for us this time around. For some reason, I am feeling more optimistic this term compared to his last term. Let's stay hopeful and focus on the potential for progress and cooperation.
