Her reputation had suffered due to several public incidents,\u2064 including a widely criticized episode where she was ejected from \u200ba theater for vaping\u2063 and causing a disturbance during\u2062 a show. Despite these controversies, her relocation \u2062to a safer Republican district is seen by strategists as a strategic move that will likely secure her re-election in\u200d both the primary and general elections.
