I mean, it's a primary so you should vote your heart.
I really wouldn't try to game theory a republican vote simply because I don't think there is a single non-trump candidate in the same league as him. Niki Haley couldn't even beat an uncommitted vote so... That Koolaid is getting served whether we like it or not.
As for @Dagwood222 's argument. Trump is always going to say that people are/will be edging away from Trump. Trump is always going to say Biden is corrupt, senile, attacking him purely for political purposes. Right now you get exactly one chance to say how you feel about the current political predicament and 4, 8, 16 years from now people are going to take your vote and try to use it as a statistic for how popular these two absolutely unpopular candidates are.
Don't overthink it. It's just a primary, do what you want. And if Trump wins against Biden in the general, you shrug and say "you warned 'em".
