Senator Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) is preparing to run for a re-election bid in 2024.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Sinema, who ran as a Democrat in 2018 but split from the party in December 2022, is preparing to campaign for a second term in 2024.
Sinema has already made a filing with the FEC to run as an independent, a major step that will allow her to raise money for the campaign.
From The Daily Wire:
According to The Wall Street Journal, Sinema’s team discussed the timeline for the campaign at a staff retreat this week. One of the meetings included a slideshow presentation about the campaign. One of the slides laid out the timeline for the rest of this year, including conducting internal polling and opposition research by September 30 and filling out campaign staff by December 31. Another slide touts the Senator’s independent streak. “Kyrsten is an independent voice for Arizona,” the slide reportedly read. “As Arizona’s senior senator, she’s committed to ignoring partisan politics, shutting out the noise and delivering real results helping everyday Arizonans build better lives for themselves and their families.” Sinema was a thorn in the side of Senate Democrats during the last Congress: she refused to cast a vote to break the filibuster in order to pass Democratic bills overhauling the American election system and enshrining abortion into federal law.
