Totally on Brand for Sinema

Dan Pfeiffer: “Notably, Sinema has not yet announced a run for reelection, but if she does, she will do so as an Independent and avoid a Democratic Primary altogether. Democrats would be in a very difficult position. They could either support an Independent who mostly agrees with them and votes for a Democratic majority or run their own candidate, possibly split the anti-MAGA majority and hand the seat to a Republican.”

“Recent elections and the partisan makeup of Arizona suggest Sinema might be right. According to the exit polls, Mark Kelly won reelection with the support of nine percent of Republican voters and 55 percent of Independents. In a three-way race between a Democrat, Sinema, and a Republican, the GOPer would be a strong favorite to win.”

“All in all, a strategic move for her, but that doesn’t make it any less annoying. In other words, totally on brand for Kyrsten Sinema.”
