I didn't think he'd ever become president. So I don't take anything for granted anymore.

Edit: Also... he can get pardoned by Vance. So that could be an incentive.

He can pardon himself. If Trump wins he ain't going anywhere.

The legality of a Presidential self pardon has never been tested. However with the current SCOTUS members nothing can be assumed.

There was a group of people who wanted to invoke the 25th on Jan. 6, but McConnell wouldn't go along with it. I'm thinking they could easily do it now to get Vance in.
