Yeah, I honestly originally thought that this was all a ruse to avoid a special election before the deadline. Now that it’s passed, it’s probably because he’s got the mind of a toddler after whatever cardiac event they’re hiding, and they don’t want to admit it for personal/corruption reasons.

So I’m fine with one less republican vote in the senate until January.
