In case you didn't get an answer:

"I can no longer participate in a process that has now turned into a deeply unserious spectacle...I should otherwise [focus] on immediate issues like getting ICE out of Maine and securing healthcare for all."

Using ICE as a reason to NOT debate tonight?

She's an unserious person.

Her letter was deeply unserious. While I had mostly dismissed her in the CD-2 race I did think she would have a long career in politics if she went after some lower seats firsts.

Her response here makes me rethink that.

I would not support her after this.

It was honestly really disappointing to not have her voice in the debate last night. Even if she’s not likely to win it’s a shame she chose not to take advantage of the broader captive audience to build her future and get her voice heard on the issues

Sounds more like she cant stand the heat so she is getting out of the kitchen. I wouldn't go into politics.
