In reply to the discussion: I'm an Arizona Dem who has known Sinema for decades. [View all]Fiendish Thingy
(17,448 posts)3. It will be my mission to support the election of a new and better Democrat to her seat in 2024
The 2024 senate map is brutal for Dems, who are projected to lose their majority by 4-6 seats. No chance of maintaining even the current slim majority.
Because of this, Dems MUST run a candidate in 2024. Its worth the risk to ensure Sinemas career, and her reign of chaos and obstruction, ends in 2024.

D's should not support any candidate but a D candidate in 2024. The D party should decide right now

With her voting history, it's unlikely she would have seen much financial support from the party.

K Street is probably who talked her into this move, and assured her she'd be taken care of.

I hear that in her delivery. She speaks a lot but really only says, "I'm over here. I'm important."

I believe she ran because she wants to win reelection and can't win a Democratic primary.
