She's resigning two days after she's eligible for her congressional pension. Her net worth has increased 10x, so she's made all the money she's going to out of being in Congress,

Now she has time to say "I'm not like all those other politicians. When they weren't working for you, but only themselves, I noped right out of there." She'll travel and do rallies to take her "outsider" message directly to the people. She'll start a podcast. "If only I were president, I could fix this. They don't care about you and your concerns, but I do."

And then, reluctantly, because no one else is looking out for the little guy, she'll agree to run. For you. For America.

Don't get me wrong, she's still a complete frickin' lunatic, and will be still in 2028. Even in that miles long statement she released she couldn't resist talking about Covid tyranny, so yeah, she's nuts. But she got a facelift and better clothes. She's learning how to moderate her speaking style to appeal to non Maga. She's running.
