In news from Capitol Hill, independent Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema has announced she will not seek reelection this year. This comes just over a year after she left the Democratic Party after years of shifting further to the right. Sinema was widely criticized by Democrats for voting against changing filibuster rules to pass key voting rights measures and efforts to raise taxes on corporations. Her departure paves the way for a high-stakes Senate seat match, likely between Democratic Congressmember Ruben Gallego and Arizona’s former Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, who supported Trump’s false claims of election fraud.
