“Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, the Democrat-turned-independent, is preparing for a re-election campaign, setting the stage for what could be an unpredictable three-way contest in the highly competitive state,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“A re-election campaign by Ms. Sinema would have implications for the battle for the Senate in 2024 and test whether a senator who has spurned a traditional party identity can build a winning centrist coalition. Ms. Sinema left the Democratic Party last year to become an independent after being a regular thorn in the side of Democratic leaders and progressive activists. She still caucuses with the Democrats, however, and remains a pivotal vote in the party’s 51-49 majority.”
