Dean: I mean that's up to him. He's going to decide when he's at end of the road. I have to say that I think he's done a great job this week. Um, he doesn't want to give up. I totally get that. If I said, in an interview this week, that if I were him I'd be doing exactly the same thing, but there's a lot more positive tone in his voice. He's made it clear that he is going to support Joe Biden and what he wants. An exchange is something that I hope he gets. Cause I, I'm, you know, job wise, a little more conservative than I am and I want the, I want, if he's going to leave, which I mean, if this continues, he's obviously is, I want his platform, a lot of pieces of his platform to be adopted.
