No, he said he was "stepping aside." I don't see that as meaning the same thing as stepping "down." One seems to suggest a lateral move while the other suggests leaving altogether. I guess time will tell...
The line of secession to the President is: VP, Speaker of the House, President Pro Tempore of the Senate, and then Secretary of State. Take from that what you will.
A vacant VP office gets filled by the POTUS' nomination after both houses of congress approve. Hypothetically, Pres. Trump could chose whomever he wanted. The problem would be getting anyone approved by the fraudulent democratic majority.
I do believe he said "step aside". (lateral or higher transfer???)
He did not say he was stepping down.
He said he is STEPPING ASIDE.

And perhaps becoming VP? AG?
Misinformation. He said step aside. Hello FBI. Wait until the coffee sets in before blasting bullshit of stepping down.
Old news
He said 'step aside', not 'step down'. Game not over.
ASIDE not DOWN
Wow? You think Biden would carry him over? Kudos to Pompeo for sticking with Trump till the end - he's one of the few.
Because Biden is sworn in then. Props to the real Big Mike. Pompeo was an excellent SOS
completely agree

Pence or Pelosi taking the reign on that. Great.
And what if Trump were to pull off a “Hail Mary”, and takes out the Deep State including Pence, who would be VP?
If a "Hail Mary" were pulled off I would guess someone like Flynn. But I believe that decision would be Trump's.
