Usa news: Sinema will avoid a primary challenge from the left now that she is an independent.
\nBut it could complicate Democrats ability to win the 2024 presidential election.
\nArizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s defection from the Democratic Party on Friday effectively upped the ante on Arizona’s battleground status ahead of the 2024 presidential election. <\/p>\n
Sinema said she will register as an independent, dampening the Democratic Party’s 51-49 control of the Senate after Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., won his reelection bid Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Political experts said Sinema’s move complicates her party’s ability to hold onto to the seat, and control of the Senate, in 2024 \u2014 not to mention efforts to secure Arizona’s key electoral votes in that year’s presidential contest.<\/p>\n
If Sinema runs for reelection and another Democrat runs for the Senate, it could split left-leaning voters, paving a path for a Republican to win the seat. <\/p>\n
