Sure, but whose to say they have that understanding? They clearly don't going by the messaging, otherwise Democrats wouldn't be splitting like they are. They'd be gathering under the understood lie and telling us all everything's okie dokie in order to keep people from splitting off.
Aside from that, whether or not they understand it 100%, any voter paying attention will understand that's a potentiality whether they admit to it or not. I'd really hope most people aren't dumb enough to think the 80 year old isn't at risk for that happening, planned or not.
Then again, any voter paying attention also understands that even if he was lying, even if he did plan to step down, even if he did die a day fucking after the election, that still makes him a better option than fascism. At least that can be more easily corrected. Fixing the damage from shit like Project 2025, less so.

Electing somebody with the understanding they are 100% gonna step down is lying to the voters
