I saw speculation on Twitter that maybe it was her that wrote that NYT OpEd. I disagree but I guess we’ll never know. Maybe she got a job offer she couldn’t refuse.
I think there are a number of good theories posited but the timing here certainly suggests that something is in the works. Reportedly Haley & POTUS first spoke about this 6 months ago (The Plan). Now, today, after JUSTICE K takes the bench, it’s announced. Obviously they were holding until after the confirmation. But right before midterms? Why not wait until after then & closer to EOY? Absolutely no real difference in practical terms. It would seem to me that suggests there are dominoes falling & I like the suggestion by Faith above that she’s positioned to take Graham’s seat if he’s moving on to bigger things. I thought Gowdy was being positioned for DAG. FOX Business has analyst speculating that Graham will become AG and she will take his seat.
