Kyrsten Sinema Will Leave the Democrat Party, Register as an Independent

She hasn't said if she'll continue caucusing with the Democrats yet, but she has said she will not caucus with the Republicans.


"I have joined the growing numbers of Arizonans who reject party politics by declaring my independence from the broken partisan system in Washington," she wrote in an op-ed published in The Arizona Republic.

Ms. Sinema, who was already facing a likely Democratic re-election challenge in 2024 after angering her party by opposing key elements of its agenda, will need to maintain some ties with Democrats to keep her committee seats and other benefits, since they would still hold a majority without her.

She informed Senator Chuck Schumer, the New York Democrat and majority leader, of her plans on Thursday, according to a Senate Democratic aide who described the private conversation on the condition of anonymity. The aide said that Ms. Sinema would keep her committee positions through Democrats, meaning the party would still hold a one-seat edge on the panels next year, giving them new flexibility over nominations and legislation.

...

Ms. Sinema has not said whether she would caucus with the Democrats, as do two other independent senators, Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Angus King of Maine. She told Politico that she would not caucus with Republicans, and that her ideology and voting habits would not change.

The article claims the Democrats don't need her vote to retain power in the Senate. I guess that's because if even if she defected to the Republicans, it would be 50-50 and Kamala would cast the tie-breaking vote and the Democrats would keep power.

I wonder what Manchin is up to.

Sinema will avoid a Democrat primary this way. But if the Democrats run a candidate against her -- and they seem angry enough at her that they cannot be counseled not to -- that will create a three way race in which it will be relatively easy for even an "extremist" Republican to win.

3 My guess is that she'll gamble that the GOP will run an "extremist" as well, and she can pick up votes from the McCain wing.

4 I think that Sinema has seen all the instances of voter fraud and suppression, especially in Maricopa, has assessed the local climate re: prosecution of pending lawsuits and decided:

Nah brah, I'm out

5 Kyrsten Sinema will caucus with the Democrats, otherwise, she loses her committee appointments and becomes and irrelevant rubber duck in a bubble bath.

"Just like Bernie!"

She has tweaked the Democrats....just a little. Not much.

13 AZ is funny with its politics. Sinema, by going "independent" may just endear herself with the general voting population.

It remains to be seen if the Democrats and the McCain machine will collude to make sure Sinema loses her seat.

Which is why this McCain-style "maverick" move is safe. She'd never do it otherwise. Why do you think she waited to make this announcement until *after* the GA run-off. If she had done it before, it might have been a serious motivator for people to go vote for Walker, because it would mean flipping the Senate instead of holding it at a tie that the Dems control anyway.

And it's true, her change won't make any difference in Senate majority status.

And her voting will still be disastrous, perhaps with even more elaborate - but clumsy, transparent, and laughable - "agonizing" over key votes, which will probably suffice to work the portion of clueless voters that is key in AZ.

Ditto Sanders. Had the 2016 contest been Trump vs. Bernie, Trump may well have lost. They both spoke to the disaffected people none too happy with the government and there would have been a fair amount of crossover potential between the two. Sanders was a *much* better opponent for Trump than Clinton. Gabbard was similarly a much better opponent than Biden, for similar reasons.

But both are outsiders and both might have ideas about the government that the establishment doesn't want to have to manage. This was especially true in 2020, since they had just had the experience of the full-time effort across the entire system it took to manage Trump down into marginalization. Gabbard didn't have a chance for the same reason (though with different motivations and desired outcomes) that Trump didn't.

Christian medical leaders raised the alarm about a new pro-abortion mandate from the Biden administration that could shut down Christian health care throughout the U.S. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services officials planned to revoke a Trump administration rule that protected pro-life medical workers from being forced to kill unborn babies in elective abortions.
