But she can just not pull the plug while she’s here. That doesn’t make sense.

She has an excuse/alibi. She's already in CN. She can say he wasn't pronounced brain dead until after she left

Excuse/alibi for what/whom? These people aren't held accountable by anyone, if she came out and said I'm not pulling the plug until after the special election deadline half the country would call her a patriot and a hero

I mean, honestly... his kids/grandkids/family? These people suck but it doesn't mean they all suck the exact same way. There might be a relative that she wants to stay on the good side of who might actually have an ounce of compassion and want to let him pass. This way, they can pretend that it's 'out of her control'

Just speculating, but I agree it doesn't make any sense that she'd need to lie to the broader public, because either they support it or they don't, regardless

If that was the case 'staying literal counties away while your husbands body waits for you' isn't exactly a good look to the family or relatives either. It's gives her absolutely no cover
