Arizona Sen. Krysten Sinema has decided to leave the Democratic party and announce she will now be an independent candidate. Coming just three days after Sen. Raphael Warnock beat Herschel Walker in Georgia, the Democrats believed they achieved a 51-49 majority in the Senate, however, they can no longer always count on Sinema’s vote.
While Republicans could’ve faired better during the Midterms and picked up the seats necessary to hold a majority, or at least maintain a 50-50 split, Sinema leaving the Democratic party and shifting to become an independent is certainly a win they’ll take.
Sinema has essentially been independent for a long time, as she has angered Democrats for not sticking to their ideology, meanwhile, many Republicans felt as though they got a pleasant surprise in both Sinema, and Sen. Joe Manchin from West Virginia, a Senator with a similar middle of the road ideology. During her Senate career, Sinema has made a name for herself working with both Republicans and Democrats, helping to achieve bipartisan deals on infrastructure, and measures on gun safety during a Senate that was essentially 50-50. However, Sinema has made decisions that angered many Democrats, including decisions based on President Biden’s infrastructure legislation, often referred to as “Build Back Better.”
The “Build Back Better” had to face the roadblocks of Sen. Joe Manchin and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema due in large part to the proposed legislation’s cost – which will end up being anywhere between $3-5 trillion. During their opposition of the proposed legislation, both Machin and Sinema made a name for themselves when Democrats acted as if the sky was falling when two of their own wouldn’t vote for a bill worth $3-5 trillion. Rather than looking at the proposed legislation and realizing they were asking too much, they blamed the more moderate Democrats. As a result, both Senators are considered to be middle of the road, and Democrats can’t rely on their votes for anything they may need to pass through the Senate.
depends on who she caucuses with.
Hershel only looses IF he doesn’t contest this thievery.
Herschel walker did not lose. How could that. E more Republicans came out too vote than dems.
The DemoCreeps have gone so radical Marxist that they turn the stomachs of the very few moderates left hanging. Sen. Sinema left the Party for a REASON. She was experiencing undue pressure, possibly even untoward harassment from her Party. IOW, her Party left HER. Republicans should rejoice, yet still maintain prudent circumspection.
WE “PATRIOTS” HOPE THAT JAN 3RD WILL START A NEW DAY, WITHIN OUR GOVERNMENT. THAT MEANS THAT THE USELESS / CORRUPT GOP PARTY OF :DO NOTHINGS”, HAD BETTER COME OUT RUNNING / FIGHTING, TO DO EVERYTHING WITHN THEIR POWER TO HELP SAVE AMERICA.
FOR WAY TOO MANY DECADES THE DEMORATS HAVE OUTSMARTED, OUTMANUVUERED, THE GOP, HOPEFULLY THEY HAVE LEARNED FINALLY, AND WILL DO SOMETHING TO TAKE OUT THE DEMS AT EVERY TURN. THEN IN 2024, WE WILL HAVE PRESIDENT TRUP BACK IN, TO LEAD THE CHARGE.
Yes we did Lose Senate
Hersel walker won and Kattie Hobbs lost and is going to jail.
The problem is that some Republicans do not have the cajones to go against what Democrats want or are obligated to them somehow. Democrats have a habit except the two, a falling in line with party regardless of personal thinking. Calling some RINO is not accurate when most appropriate title would be “chicken little” since they run thinking the sky is falling and their “mommy” is the Democrats who will protect them by voting with them.
Walker lost the election because Republican RINO’s decided to make the election about abortion. And the RINO’s knew it would cost them the election, which is why they decided to FOCUS on that!!!!!!!
We will know for sure when she has to cast a vote against investigating the Hunter Biden laptop.
