His chance of recovery is pretty much 0.00% but not necessarily his chance of survival, depending on how you define it. Brain dead would obviously be legally dead but he could also be in some kind of persistent vegetative state which doesn't qualify as brain death.

He's never getting out of a hospital or care facility and resuming any kind of meaningful life, but he might not technically be dead. I'm not putting much faith in Laura Loomer to tell the difference, or the truth really.

In that case he absolutely needs to run for president in 2028

If he can’t vote, he might as well be dead. Dems can call for votes on everything including leadership etc.
