It's just a move to try to blackmail the Democrats into not running another candidate against her and supporting her. She knows she is toast in a primary. It's a desperate move but really all she has at this point. I figured she would not run and just work for some lobbying group.

The Dems should absolutely ignore her and run a primary like normal. If she ends up being a spoiler, so be it. It's better than bowing to the least popular Senator in the country. And I do wonder if she'd actually run as an independent if the Democrats called her bluff.

And regardless, I don't think she ends up being much of a spoiler. She's loathed in Arizona by everyone. In fact, she's more popular with Republicans than Democrats. I'd seriously wonder if she'd be more of a threat to spoil some far-right candidate who the more moderate Republicans refuse to vote for.
