This doesn't matter. Not while the US is the reserve currency, and not for a few other reasons either. It's a fake GOP campaign point and nothing more.
It is entertaining to me that the GOP is actually the party working hardest to end the US$ status as the reserve currency. I don't know if they just like self-fullfilling prophecies or if they really have no grasp of network effects. Probably both.
The G7 no longer has the highest share of the global GDP, and its percentage is dropping fast.
BRICS are now trading directly with each other through their own bank, with their own version of SWIFT, etc. They can have access to the largest share of the world GDP while ignoring sanctions and not having to use US dollars or euros.

They still have more than half of the entire G20 though.

This gives those countries more freedom and reduces the US ability to put pressure on those countries, but it's not an indication that the US is going to stop being the reserve currency anytime soon.
