Quick Glance: Sen. Kyrsten Sinema's Decision Not to Seek Re-election
  • The independent senator, Sinema, announced on Tuesday her choice not to pursue re-election, leading to her departure from the Senate after a single term.

  • Sinema's opting out sets the stage for a challenging and costly battle for her position, with top Republican contender Kari Lake and leading Democrat Ruben Gallego already in the race to succeed her.

  • In a video message, Sinema emphasized her departure from the Senate due to the prevailing bipartisan conflict and the divergence between her approach and the current desires of America.

  • Sinema's political journey has been remarkable, transitioning from a Green Party organizer to the GOP's former favorite Democrat in the U.S. Senate. Following an irreparable split with Arizona Democrats, she shifted from her party in 2022 to operate as an independent, aiding Democrats in maintaining Senate control.

Newly independent Sinema gets Democratic challenger for Senate seat
Quick Glance: Rep. Ruben Gallego has announced his candidature for Kyrsten Sinema's Arizona Senate seat.
  • He claimed that he and Sinema both come from "modest to poor means," but that their paths in Congress have diverged.

  • "I'm better for this job than Kyrsten Sinema because I haven't forgotten where I came from," Gallego told The Associated Press.

  • Gallego, a 43-year-old military veteran who was first elected to Congress in 2014, had made no secret of his desire to run against Sinema, a longtime rival in Arizona politics who has been a stumbling block and irritant to Democrats during Joe Biden's presidency.

  • She single-handedly defeated Democrats' long-held goal of increasing taxes on wealthy investors.

  • "Senator Sinema may now be registered as an independent, but she has shown she answers to corporations and billionaires, not Arizonans," Arizona Democratic Party Chair Raquel Terán said in a statement.

  • "She's independent, just like Arizona," the advertisement stated.
