He must be on deaths door bc there ain’t now way otherwise he’d ever do this

He says that the recent death of a close family member caused him to re-evaluate priorities, I can get on board with that.

His own health issues almost certainly played a factor there. He's 82 and clearly having some issues. I'm surprised he's even holding out until November.

He's not just holding out till November, he's holding out until his term expires in 2027!
