Former social worker and Senator of the United States, Senator Kyrsten Sinema, an Arizona independent, revealed her retirement from the Senate, citing escalating partisanship and mudslinging in Washington as the reasons.
Sinema expressed her belief in her approach but acknowledged it might not align with the current desires of the American people.
This decision removes her from the competitive race for her seat, impacting potential challengers like Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego and former Arizona Republican gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake.
Senate GOP’s campaign chair, Sen. Steve Daines, sees this as an advantage for Lake based on polling data.
Sinema has been a prominent figure in the Senate, known for her efforts to foster compromise between Democrats and Republicans.
