Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema leaves Democratic Party, registers as independent

[FoxNews] Kyrsten Sinema, in a Friday op-ed in the Arizona Republic, cited increasingly partisan interests and radicalization of both political parties as the reason for her departure.

The senator has been the target of extensive intra-party mudslinging for not falling in line with the rest of her party on key issues — most notably, refusing to abolish the filibuster.

"When politicians are more focused on denying the opposition party a victory than they are on improving Americans’ lives, the people who lose are everyday Americans," Sinema wrote in the op-ed.

The true ramifications of Sinema's departure are yet to be known — more consequential than senators' party affiliation is their caucusing and legislative objectives.

Sinema has not stated whether she will continue caucusing with the Democrats, but sources have told Fox News that she will maintain her committee assignments via the Democratic Party.

#3 Mostly theater for the 2024 stage. Stoke those conservative hopes she will be reasonable to deter the efforts of Lake et al to mount an early challenger.

#4 if Kari Lake is still taken seriously by any Republicans in Arizona, they get what they deserve.

#5 ^ I look forward to the same hate I got (not here) about calling out Larry Elder as a bad candidate.

The truth hurts. Suck it.

#6 Sinema knows that Kerry Lake is going to explose the corruption in AZ that got her elected and wants to get as far away from it as possible.

#7 In the theatre of m. Murchek's mind, we're still a nation of laws, and everyone is on the level.

#8 She was more autonomous as a Democrat than Bernie has been in his career as an independent. When Hillary told him to sit in the corner, he say in the corner.
