She’s a stooge and a useful idiot… She doesn’t have the ear of anyone important. Hell, i don’t think she’s on any legislative committees, which tells me nobody important is backing her.
Edit: just looked at the committees she’s a part of. Her only appointment of note is being chair of DOGE…i rest my case.
It’s not the “party” that matters… It’s who is giving money to the party. Sometimes it takes a minute for the donors to settle on the same horse.
