18. Resign? Not a snowball's chance in hell.

He and Congressional MAGAs will pull out all the stops to rig the midterms, from ID requirements to banning mail in ballots.

He will station ICE or militias or National Guard or all 3 at polls.

He will send in thugs to grab voting machine data and mail in ballots (if they are not banned) and claim to find fraud.

Mikey will refuse to swear in any Dems who do manage to get elected to the House.

Or, seeing the likelihood of Dem wins in both houses, he will just cancel the elections.

We saw what he did on J6. Anything is possible, but he will fight to the death to prevent a Dem Congress.

Unless...If his financial political backers and handlers decide that he is of no further use, they will find a way to pull him out of office and install Vance.
