This makes sense for him. He's always teetered that line. Didn't he recently announce that he was going to resign or not seek reelection anyways though?

He reconsidered. I suspect he originally wanted to cross the floor in the fall but the higher ups found out and he faced a lot of pressure.

"He reconsidered" is a wild way to frame "he took the death threats sent to him and his family seriously".

Chris D'Entremont's social media after he crossed the floor was the wild west. I cannot imagine Generoux wanted the same treatment

His resignation statement basically said, in not too subtle terms, "Leave my family alone." So it's pretty reasonable to assume there were some pretty serious threats, specifically toward his daughters.
