“Because I choose civility, understanding, listening, working together to get stuff done, I will leave.”
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., announced on Tuesday that she will retire from the Senate rather than run for re-election after her party switch.
Sinema, who left the Democratic Party in 2022 after facing internal backlash for siding with the Senate GOP on the filibuster rule they used to kill major pieces of President Joe Biden’s agenda, announced her decision in a video posted to X/Twitter.
