in 2022 or 2024.

He might be realizing that he'll be hung out by himself if the Repugs don't do well in the upcoming elections.

Maybe he's now coming to his senses and realizes he's going to need the Dems when they maintain the House and Senate.

It's even more problematic for him - if the Dems win at least 52 or more Senate seats.

That's just my theory.
