like AOC said, the timing of this resignation lines up with her pension kicking in. I’m sure that’s all there is to it.

Two choices.

First, she was honestly scared by the threats against her after she split with Donnie and just wants to keep herself safe.

OR

She thinks Trump and the GOP are headed to a massive fall and the 2026 midterms will be a bloodbath. By stepping away now she can come back as an “Independent” candidate in 2028.
