I so appreciate your writing from your insights. In my opinion, this move by Cy Vance further proves that dtrump does not run the universe. And President Biden is proving the

that same thing. Most republicans have yet to see the message though.

I'm exhausted after 4 years of Trump and Company, including his smear-prone base. I imagine that he just doesn't want to enter retirement fighting fabricated scandals that would surely surface. Don't blame him one bit. Best to leave on top. Cheers Cy!

What are the chances he'll be replaced by a Republican? You know the former guy is going to go all in on a friendly Republican to get elected, even if he has to cheat. I just want this all to be over with his and his entire family in prison.

I don’t think they’re high. If there were a Republican running, opponents would likely point out the need for the new DA to finish the job Vance started.

What does the playing field look like for potential successors? While I don't blame the man for wanting to retire, it does seem an odd time to pass the baton. The passing of the baton in a relay race is the "riskiest" point and takes a lot of practice to keep from fumbling the baton and ultimately losing the race. Why a risk a transition in the middle of something this big and important? What if they fumble? What if the successor IS more politically motivated?

Many running against him are from the progressive left, and it will be interesting to see how this shakes up the race. Vance just didn’t have the stomach for another term, it seems.
