Of course there is a chance. The question you should be asking is rather: is the change pushed by the administration more likely to produce more "good" science or more "bad"?
And the answer to that question seems obvious to me.
If you speak to any academic working in a "controversial" field, it becomes readily apparent that a lot of meritless papers are getting through peer review because their conclusions agree with a particular orthodoxy and vice-versa. The measure we're discussing is crude, heavy-handed and likely quite destructive, but I can't help but see it as a counter-reaction to an equally destructive opposing trend. Numerous academics have had their careers abruptly ended in recent years because they discovered the "wrong" facts; a vastly larger number have self-censored for fear of being targeted by a partisan campaign.
Sadly, the politicisation of academia is so acute that I expect it will take many decades of wild over-correction and counter-correction to remedy, if it is in fact possible to remedy.
