I think the ISS will be dragged along until there's a plan for a new station which may include replacing the more ancient components instead of an entirely new station. I have a hard time seeing NASA and the US government giving up on having a continuously operated space station in LEO. What that likely means given the overall gridlock and every administration messing with the plans at NASA is that the ISS limps along until the modules themselves need to be replaced.
