Washington — Sen. Kyrsten Sinema announced Tuesday she is not running for reelection in Arizona in November, opening up a crucial swing-state Senate seat.
“Because I choose civility, understanding, listening, working together to get stuff done, I will leave the Senate at the end of the year,” she announced in a video statement.
Sinema left the Democratic Party in 2022 to become an independent. But she has continued to caucus with Democrats, helping them keep their narrow majority in the upper chamber.
