In any sane universe, a presidential candidate being forced to back out right before the convention would be a source of absolute glee for the opposing party. It'd be considered a huge loss of momentum and a sign that the party is disunified and collapsing on itself.

The fact that MAGA is genuinely upset about this really speaks volumes about how resoundingly unpopular Biden is, and what little appeal Trump has to campaign on outside of anti-Biden sentiment.

This timeline is weird as hell...
