Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema has switched parties to become an independent, chipping away at the Democrats narrow control of the U.S. Senate.
Sinema said in a tweet Friday that she was declaring her"independence from the broken partisan system in Washington and formally registering as an Arizona Independent."
Sinema, along with West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, have been wild cards for Democrats since the party gained narrow control of the Senate from Republicans in 2020. Sen. Raphael Warnock's re-election win in Georgia's U.S. Senate run-off election on Tuesday had boosted Democrats' hopes that with a 51-49 majority in the Senate.
Sinema said in a tweet Friday that she was declaring her"independence from the broken partisan system in Washington and formally registering as an Arizona Independent." In a natural extension of my service since I was first elected to Congress, I have joined the growing numbers of Arizonans who reject party politics by declaring my independence from the broken partisan system in Washington and formally registering as an Arizona Independent. 1/3
