They weren't entirely fair to begin with, given how our system works. But that's besides the point. She is a politician, running for office is what she knows how to do. If they shut down elections by then, then she hasn't exactly wasted much outside of her immediate network by preparing for them. If they aren't successful at doing so (which there's at least some chance of, like if they manage to piss off their SC justices somehow enough for them to not go along with some critical step, or if Trump's health conditions catch up with him and his people start infighting, etc), then being prepared for an election would give a better chance at seizing any such opportunity than deciding not to bother planning for one and getting surprised would.
