Trump probably got to her.
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
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!
No, she definitely did not suddenly grow a backbone. She is seeing an opportunity.
I think a backbone would be a hindrance for all the flip flopping they do. She's just opportunistic, like all of them.
Pretty sure the Trumper threats of violence got to her.
She knows what neo-nazi, domestic terrorists are capable of.
I see them not doing much of anything, so “capable” is a bunch of morbidly obese men who can’t ejaculate trying to be bad asses.
Big people == easy targets.
She can smell and sense the smoke from the fire that will burn everything down ... she's leaving before everything goes to complete dog shit and everyone goes after these MAGA lunatics.
She knows the boat is sinking and has hopped onto one of the lifeboats before everyone panics and jumps into the ocean.
And nothing of value will be lost.
Well hell, joyous day. First they get rid of the CIA cutout USAID, then the damn penny and now the trash.
These broken clock Republicans accidentally do good.
Who knew that was possible?
Oh God the dems will run her in 2028
