BREAKING: Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona announced Friday that she has registered as an independent, but she does not plan to caucus with Republicans, ensuring Democrats will retain their narrow majority in the Senate.

Sinema, who has modeled her political approach on the renegade style of the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and has frustrated Democratic colleagues at times with her overtures to Republicans and opposition to Democratic priorities, said she was "declaring my independence from the broken partisan system in Washington."Republic that she came into office pledging "to be independent and work with anyone to achieve lasting results.

Democrats were set to hold a 51-49 edge in the Senate come January after the victory Tuesday by Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock in Georgia’s runoff election. The Senate is now split 50-50, with Vice President Kamala Harris the tiebreaking vote for Democrats. She is facing reelection in 2024 and is likely to be matched up with a well-funded primary challenger after angering much of the Democratic base by blocking or watering down progressive priorities such as a minimum wage increase or President Joe Biden’s big social spending initiatives. She has not said whether she plans to seek another term.

Until Joe Manchin goes next. Fox 13 will be like…

And what happens when Manchin jumps off the sinking ship?

Still waiting for more Dems to go that way. Some are listening to parents, working class folks, and young people.

Plans can change

Good for her

Someone break out their violin 🎻 the liberal whining will be epic.

Not Enuf ... If you are not on the RIGHT there is NO TRUST and even if you are on the RIGHT it needs to be made sure you are NOT a RINO !!!

Self serving Sinema, up to her BS again.

A very very intelligent move one might say, she doesn’t want to be labeled a cheater like katiehobbs SecretaryHobbs

Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona announced Friday that she has registered as an independent, but she does not plan to caucus with Republicans, ensuring Democrats will retain their narrow majority in the Senate. I suppose she realized that she's not wacko enough to be a Democrat. She doesn't look to herself to shoulder any blame ... Her voters don't matter to her. They voted for a Democrat. Democrats have been fighting to do good, she has been fighting for big donors, big $$, pharma.
