Something smells fucky. She’s in a gerrymandered district so re-election isn’t a concerned. Presumably Trump is in too much of a froth to realize this might be a political mistake and would love the theatrically of it. It will fire up the base and keep immigration central in the election discourse.
I don’t quite get it. But my speculation is that this is an early volley and positioning to try to get rid of Johnson soon by 1) calling him out and making him look weak, 2) forcing him to capitulate to the democrats “just like she said he would,” and 3) or he doesn’t work with the dems, and then she’s tied him more concretely to the government shutdown. Following this, I assume the crazy crew will start undermining him in the media, and then they’ll eventually vote to try to get him removed and install one of the crazy crew.
She is absolutely too rabid to be doing this for civic-minded reasons, so something has to be going on.
Gerrymandered districts are more in danger not less. Gerrymandering is about spreading out areas which are easy wins, and instead spreading those votes over multiple districts.
You gain more seats, but you make every race closer.

She is playing a post-Trump game and knows a looming power vacuum when she sees one.

She won her seat last election with almost 70% of the vote.
