Her hospitalization, though dramatic in the moment, has increasingly been framed not as a conclusion but as a pause—a rare stillness in a career marked by motion. Political careers are often measured in elections won and bills passed, but they are also measured in presence: in the decision to keep showing up, to keep negotiating, to keep standing at podiums long after easier paths might have beckoned.

Or will it stand as yet another episode in a career that has repeatedly defied predictions of its end?
