    “I have too much self respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms,” she wrote in a statement.

    She could just not run for re-election if that’s what she’s actually worried about. Resigning early doesn’t make sense.

      trump needs to show the rest that there are consequences for insubordination.I have feeling there were some private threats against her family.If she would have primaries and still won them that would send signal to other republicans that trump is a losing side.

          The fact that she hired a security firm tells me that this is more of a standard “shame something would happen to your family”

          I’m not saying that there’s nothing to blackmail her, but the behavior feels like she is just scared.

          The fact that something happened to those two politicians from Minnesota and no one seems to care says a lot.
