He, of course, has never made his positions clear, but it seemed like he was going to try to win over R's with at least some pandering positions.

I have to wonder if he is still going to run. He will be hated by everyone on the Left and by Hollywood if he embraces anything close to the policies re: COVID and ANTI-CHOICE and ANTI-IMMIGRATION.

So, my guess is his candidacy will fade away. At least if he is smart and hasn't had some horrific RW cult epiphany.
