She still hasn’t given up her Senate seat unless I missed it. Most are saying because they want her for impeachment, but it doesn’t seem any Senate trial will be held before inauguration . So my thought ... Remember the Smollett federal special counsel’ ? We know she and Booker were heavily involved in getting Smollett to do his thing.. maybe there is a indictment just waiting for her on that deal. If there is , and she knows it, she wouldn’t resign and give them the ability to arrest her, just keep it until she is sworn in.
Or maybe she needs the protection from Willie Browns wife.
Possibly for the same reasons, didn’t want to risk an arrest.
Joe's had more to do with being there 37 years and being proud of 7th term. He didn't resign immediately after his 7th term started but maybe wanted to soak it in for a few weeks. The Hoe has no specific reason and after today there is no "I wanted to resign on the same day as Joe did" explanation possible.
