Most of them probably just accepted the fact that he wasn’t going to call for a significantly earlier election a long time ago and stopped letting it rent space in their heads.
There’s really zero change in the outcome if he says he won’t call for one or threatens to call for one and doesn’t. The credibility of a politician that in all likelihood isn’t going to have any real power after the election regardless of when it is just isn’t worth worrying about. Especially when there’s really not a whole lot anyone can do to force his hand.
