Was always a longshot in the midterms but hopefully can still keep it closely split

I doubt his wife would be keen, First Lady is a fairly thankless task even when you are in robust health and iirc she still suffers from aphasia from the shooting. In theory it is something we should not expect of the partner but in practice hard to get out of a lot of ceremonial workload.

I think we would see very substantive changes to the First Lady role if he were elected, which is probably overdue. He would need a real glad-hander of a VP, and Cabinet members would probably collectively end up shouldering the rest of the burden.

Not really sure that Cabinet positions would have the same impact, plus they have a lot on their plate doing their day jobs.

Could always reinstitute the monarchy

Singles day was Friday, ya know.

Seriously, we would see the same thing if a single person were elected president. We've only been talking about these possibilities in popular fiction since the 1990s. You would think that there would be some recognition by now that not all politicians are married to a full-time politician's spouse, and that it's possible for a single or divorced person to hold high office.
