Office of Sen. Kyrsten Sinema
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema at a roundtable focused on housing affordability and supply challenges facing Arizona communities in February 2023.
Arizona’s senior senator, the now-independent Kyrsten Sinema, announced her departure from the Democratic Party late last year. But, she continues to caucus with the party — at least for now.
Democrats in Washington, D.C., have tried to remain quiet about her shift, trying to not alienate Sinema when they have a one-seat majority in the Senate. And they remain unsure about her political future. Will she run again? Will she run as an independent? Could she possibly win that way?
Jonathan Martin is Politico's politics bureau chief. In his latest column for Politico, Martin says Sinema may be making the Democrats’ deliberations about her future a little easier.
