Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona announced that she would leave the Democratic Party and become an independent, unsettling the party divide anew just days after Democrats secured an expanded majority in the Senate.

“I have joined the growing numbers of Arizonans who reject party politics by declaring my independence from the broken partisan system in Washington.” 

Ms. Sinema, who is likely facing a 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 has diverged with Democrats on fiscal and tax policy. She has blocked Democratic attempts to increase taxes on corporate America and Wall Street.

Freedom of speech may cause problems to some. You are allowed to sing the praises to keep the party happy.  Just a thought.
