I dunno man, there's some 80+ y.o. senators. He might feel like God told him to stay in office as long as he can, to fight mein fuhrer. I've realized that making bets in politics doesn't go well, because we base our reasoning on prior events, and we're so rapidly diverging from previous norms. I would argue that the degree of uncertainty surrounding what's going to happen within the next year alone to the American political system is unprecedented since at least WWII. Maybe the civil war.
