(GoRealNewsNow.com) – BREAKING NEWS NOW: A short while ago, United States Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona announced that she would not seek reelection this year.
You can see her announcement in a video a bit further down this post.
As the Daily Caller notes:
“Sinema was elected to the Senate in 2018 as a Democrat but left the party after the 2022 midterm elections. Alongside Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who is also retiring, she has taken a moderate position in the body and often voted against Democratic priorities, such as exceptions to the filibuster…
“Following her departure from the Democratic Party, Sinema would have faced a difficult general election if she ran for a second term. Polls showed her trailing both Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego of Arizona, the leading Democratic candidate to succeed her with the backing of the party leadership, as well as former local news anchor and Republican candidate Kari Lake, the frontrunner in the state’s GOP primary.” [emphasis added]
Here is the video Sinema released announcing her withdrawal from the race:
