5. If he resigned, I think his prospect to be the 2024 republican nominee would be way less

than right now. Like it or not, when you resign, there is some guilt associated in people's mind so I think a lot of the republican base would then distance themselves with TFG. It would be a "who's TFG" and "I didn't vote for TFG" moment much like when you ask if anyone voted for Nixon.

So I don't think we need an agreement that he doesn't run again if he were to resign.
