Chapter 2: Bombshell from the Grand Canyon State
BREAKING NEWS ALERT: UNITED STATES SENATOR KYRSTEN SINEMA (D-AZ) LEAVES DEMOCRATIC PARTY; BECOMING INDEPENDENT
*Thursday, December 8, 2022: Less than two days following Warnock's reelection victory in the Georgia US Senate Runoff election, the political world goes crazy yet again as United States Senator Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) announced in a video on Social Media that she was leaving the Democratic Party effective immediately and becoming an Independent.
Sinema's move had been rumored for quite awhile due to mass grumblings and anger from liberals and progressive Democrats, who accused the Grand Canyon State's Senior United States Senator of blocking the Cuomo administration's key initiatives such as the John Lewis Voting Rights Act; Build Back Better among countless other legislative priorities.
Sinema during an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, justified switching political parties because she felt she never fit in any particular political box or party. Others suspected the timing of this was odd based on her recent address at the McConnell Public Policy Center in Louisville, Kentucky.
