Sen. Kyrsten Sinema has left the Democratic Party and is registering as an independent. Why did she do this and what does it mean? See perspectives and analysis across the spectrum from ThePlumLineGS, thehill, and QuinHillyer:
“exposes how little she cares for the party she called home for her career—and for that party's voters,” determining that she is “fully aware of the kamikaze mission she's on” and how it will hinder both the Democratic Party and her own political ambitions moving forward.
Many on the right praised Sinema’s move and predicted how the decision would impact the larger political stage. Quin Hillyer tied Sinema’s announcement to a broader movement of voters away from political affiliations, stating that “the public hunger remains for candidates less interested in toeing party lines” and predicting the move increasing the odds of a third-party President in the near future.
