Just like that, Donald Trump went from being three years younger than his opponent in the upcoming election�to being 19 years older. That change seems to have left Trump a wee bit confused. In the ...
I was mostly just mocking him, but to take your question seriously… I don’t know. I don’t think it would help the GOP at this point, since Vance would most likely get the nomination, as Trump’s running-mate.
I don’t think anyone else in the party can draw nearly the same support as Trump, either. Not in the party itself, or from the broader American electorate. Nikki Haley was the only candidate that could possibly do that, but Haley being handed the nomination at the 11th hour would be seen as a Deep-State RINO coup against the dear leader, so she’d loose the base.
I think it’d also depend somewhat on the nature of his leaving the race. If he was successfully assassinated, that would likely turn the whole election on it’s head. Not necessarily in a way that would get Vance elected, but it would change the dynamics, and the electoral math, in ways we can’t predict. We thought the shooting would hand Trump the Presidency, but nobody even cared. Who knows what would happen if that shot was a couple inches closer.
If Trump got sick, injured, or had some sort of catastrophic performance like Biden at the debate? I don’t think that would help the GOP in November, either.
As for him willingly stepping down, as Biden did, for the good of the nation… Lol, no. He’s not doing that.
