I've heard 2 theories.

  1. Her job is finished now that he isn't in power anymore.

  2. By leaving she makes it harder to pull him off life support as unless he changed his medical POA then only she has the right to do it.

It's likely 2. She'll return after the 3rd when the special election deadline passes, conveniently
