"Sinema's Retirement and the Senate's Deal-making Dilemma"
TL;DR
The departure of Senator Kyrsten Sinema highlights the dwindling number of bipartisan dealmakers in the Senate, as evidenced by the retirements of influential swing votes like Joe Manchin and Mitt Romney. The trend reflects a shift away from compromise and towards partisan politics, with little incentive for consensus-building. The potential loss of the filibuster, combined with the allure of attention-driven decision-making, further complicates the future of bipartisanship in the Senate.
