It’s really not as clear-cut as that, as described in the article. She had been affiliated with the Democratic Party for a long time, and officially supported abortion rights until recently.

What it appears is that she did it all because it was the easier road to power. So she was, over all, an opportunist. She will not get reelected by her voters, but this is such the kind of behavior that Republicans glorify that she might get elected as one. I’m surprised there is no law about that: she was instituted for a reason, did not uphold the very core of her promises. She should be destituted and banned for office for life.
