This was all decided a month ago, not tonight. Not doxxing myself here to say how i know that. He's running.

Iron rule of politics: you have to "answer people's call" to serve in public office, not announce your ideas to ascend. The recall has multiple stages and will take months. You don't put yourself out there unless you know it's certain (i.e. when the special election for succession has been called). It's not time to do that yet. He's gearing up appearances to check support.
