Arizona U.S. Senator Kyrsten Sinema said on Friday she had switched her political party affiliation to independent, leaving the Democratic Party just days after it won a U.S. Senate race in Georgia to secure 51 seats in the chamber.
"I have joined the growing numbers of Arizonans who reject party politics by declaring my independence from the broken partisan system...

Exactly.
Schumer must be fuming.
Bad move by Fettermans aides to go after her and Manchin. How about it Machin join the club.
It would be a hoot if Manchin also “left” the party.
IF… and that’s a big “if” she is making the move now and does NOT caucus with the dems, that puts the GOP at a 50-49 advantage until the newly elected Senate takes office.
Big f’n deal. She’ll still vote with the democrats, just like all of the other “independents.”
Watch Manchin flip to R and f**k over Schumer big time
Nope...never happen! I’d wager the clothes on my back that Rat Party Headquarters has a dossier on him that’s big enough to give anyone trying to lift it a heart attack.
Won't do any good. mittens is already telegraphing that he's transitioning to full faggotry. https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4115007/posts
That’s probably what she is seeking. She is a vote for sale. What will be the price for her vote? The control of the Senate will still be in DemocRat hands as the split will be 50-49-1.
If she voted like a constitutionalist, I would applaud her and urge more senators to join her, but I suspect that this is a power play to see how much the Republicans will offer her for a seat at the GOP table.
If they truly have 3 “independent” senators, how can the DemocRats claim control of the Senate? Wouldn’t the count be 48 DemocRats, 49 Republicans, and 3 independents?

She came, She infuriated, She departed.
With the Rat nomination somewhat “muddled” due to Xiden’s mental health & Cameltoe’s incompetence\general unlikability. Manchin will continue to play the “angles” to raise his profile for a possible play for the nomination or at least a VP slot. I don’t think he’s his 2024 re-election (He’s 75!) is as high a priority with him right now.
Nothing changes in the Senate except she doesn’t need to worry about being primaried by a Democrat in 2024.
Even Sinema recognizes the idiocy of the RATS…
C’mon munchkin…you can switch too…
