U.S. Sen. Kyrtsen Sinema (D-AZ) speaks at a news conference after the Senate passed the Respect for Marriage Act at the Capitol Building on November 29, 2022 in Washington, DC. Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema announced Tuesday that she will not run for re-election this year, leaving the Senate after one term that saw her paint Arizona blue, leave the Democratic Party and play a key role in numerous legislative negotiations in a tightly divided Senate. "I will leave the Senate at the end of this year," Sinema said in a video posted on her X account. Notably, Sinema believed she was stronger with Arizona Republicans than with her own former party. Republicans, who are hoping to flip the Senate back into their control this year, are eyeing Arizona as a potential pickup opportunity.
