Polling got to her I bet.
That’s what happens when you run as a maga ally and then suddenly grow a backbone. I’m sure she’s seeing internal polling that shows her base has abandoned her and based on her absolutely toxic rhetoric and past she’s not picking up much in terms of votes outside of the maga crowd.
So she saves face and resigns rather than facing the embarrassment of getting destroyed in a primary
I think a backbone would be a hindrance for all the flip flopping they do. She’s just opportunistic, like all of them.
No, she definitely did not suddenly grow a backbone. She is seeing an opportunity.
If that were the case, why not just serve out the term and not run again? Surely this out of the blue announcement would be a bigger embarrassment than early retirement.
Right. Although I don’t think she has a backbone, I think she played her hand for a 2028 run. I bet she runs.
Sure, that’s a better phrasing. I agree she was ultimately gaming to take over the party post Trump and it backfired on her miserably. Oh well, fuck her
Yeah, I’m not crying for any of them. Frankly, if she is gone for 3 years and pops up later, that’s 3 years I didn’t have to hear her name. Win-win!
