Only after it got too far into his own party having to show to him that he had no real support path to victory.

Don't praise people too much when they EVENTUALLY do the right thing. It's good he finally did, but this is the guy who ran in 2020 suggesting he'd be a one-term president in the first place.

The power got to him like it does everyone.

Good for you, you eventually did the right thing. Would have been better if you had done so a hell of a lot sooner.

I don't think he wanted another term. I really think he felt like he was the only one that could beat Trump.
