To relieve himself of the stench if he doesn't. But then, if the few remaining Rs who hate the cult are able to take over, there might be value (in his reckoning) to remaining.
Personally, I don't see it.

If you had, like I have, spoken with him over dinner, you would be absolutely certain he's no democrat!
He's still a true believer in supply-side, he's a hawk, he supports work requirements for SNAP & HUD assistance, and trusts all that Cato free markets are always best stuff.
He's not a frother on immigration, or abortion, or 2A.
But, if he pulls the R off his name, it will end up an I. Or maybe an L. But, running as a libertarian in Illinois is likely a non-starter.
