My prediction about Kyrsten Sinema, if she keeps a seat in the Senate after 2024.

[pnwmom]

She'll remain an Independent and from now on, she'll caucus with whichever party holds the current majority.

And she'll tell AZ voters that will give her the most power.

[GP6971]

1. I don't think she'll get that far.

Her popularity rating is really low.

But it's AZ, so who knows.

[Fiendish Thingy]

2. Her senate career ends in 2024. Nt

[Beastly Boy]

3. Sinema wants to remain a make or break vote in the Senate.

She tried it in an evenly divided 50-50 senate and she liked it. But now, with a 51-49 Senate she has become a lot less relevant as a Democrat. She will caucus with whoever she can leverage better to get what she wants. Hence her sudden desire to become an "independent".

4. She's through, has no chance of winning in '24...

as she's wildly unpopular among AZ Democrats and republican will always vote for a real republican over a republican lite or an Indy.

She's toast in the Senate and this move to being an independent won't save her.

[pnwmom]

5. She doesn't need to draw MANY votes from Democrats in order to win,

just enough to give the Republican a plurality.

[brush]

6. Do you mean giving the repubs a plurality and thus the win...

for the republicans since there's no run-off in AZ?

You think that's her aim? If so, ok, but whatever way, she has no path to victory.

She's toast after '24.

[pnwmom]

7. I think she's narcissistic enough to believe she could win. nt

[lees1975]

9. That's not going to happen.

Switching at this particular time is a deliberate act of disloyalty to the party, a slap in the face. Her stock among Democrats is already apparently lower than it is among the GOP. As it is now, she'd take more votes away from the GOP candidate than the Democrat.

[tinrobot]

8. My prediction is she loses in '24 and tries to become a media star

Doubt she'll be successful at that, either.

[BannonsLiver]

10. Nah.

She’ll be out on her ass after her term is up.
