He is visibly deteriorating. I'll be surprised if he stays until the end of his term.

It's only a matter of time before there is a deal between Trump and Vance for a pardon in return for retirement.

I think that's a bad deal for Vance. He wants to run in 2028 for a four year term. Becoming POTUS and inheriting all the baggage for 2 years would harm his chances.

He actually distances himself from a lot of stuff very carefully. Like we all know he was against the Iran war. He said he wasn't going to watch the execution broadcast. Etc.

I’m betting he will step down the day after the midpoint in his term. Giving Vance the opportunity to rule for 10 years.
