Stop living in fantasy. He was forced out, under threat of the 25th amendment. This wasn't some selfless act...he lost his faculties and had to be booted by his own party under threat.
Clueless comment. He was not forced by anyone, maybe encouraged. Very clear what happened if you were paying attention; he made a public statement that he might not continue running if he fell ill, then promptly contracted covid and dropped out. Mike Johnson is too new to his seat to consider approving any action based on a25, Kamala would have to be the initiator of the process, and the only mentions I saw of it were well after the step-down.
