Trump refuses to accept he's not running against Biden anymore
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 ...

Sometimes, when people get older, they get a little confused. It happens. Donald, he's getting up there, and maybe he's just feeling a little confused again. Like that time he mixed up Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi.
Maybe he should drop out of the race, let someone a little younger and more aware take over.
Unlike the Democrats who had not yet put forth a candidate, the GOP has officially nominated theirs. The Democrats could turn the tables and get a successor off the ballots
Yes, but I do wonder if he did step down would the GOP recieve the same invigoration the Dems appear to be receiving from a different contender.
I don't think he can because the RNC already happened making him the party's nomination. The DNC hasn't happened yet so the Democrats were able to switch candidates before they meet to nominate.

It would be a disaster, but if a candidate were to die between the nomination and the election, I think the running-mate would stand-in for the headliner.
Something like that happened back in 1872, when Horace Greeley died one month before the Electoral College met.
zero change considering the republican party is trump's party after everyone but the trump cult fled.
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.
Edit: minor grammar corrections.
Awareness is in very short supply on the right at the moment.
