I just assume that her motivation has to do with extending her relevance. This sounds absolutely like the most plausable, and is completely consistent with her previous actions. Her being in Congress was just a way to increase her profile. She got a boost by running for president. I believe she really wants a TV gig, and being a "liberal" contributor to FOX will give her the perfect opportunity to attack a Biden administration. I don't trust her at all.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
