Primary season doesn't start for another year. Sinema changed parties now.

Seems to me that shows it was more about getting attention than keeping her seat.

1. She registered Independent. She didn't switch parties

as there is no national Independent Party. She’ll be an Independent, but, not formally caucusing with Dems. She did not switch to ANY party, no matter what the inaccurate media headlines claim.

To be clear, my beef is with the media’s headlines failures.

I agree with you that it’s attention she seeks.

2. Clearly did not want the Dems thinking they had 51 to count on.

Bit of a rug pull and quite uncalled for.

3. Spot on. AND attention seeking & reelection prospects

All selfserving reasons. She's like the repugs in that way - narcissist.

6. She did this for money and attention.

5. Yes the timing was meant to send a clear message.

Right after the GA runoff where a Dem won a senate seat.

She did not do this on her own.

4. It's most likely about both.
