Sinema's Risky Strategy: Swiping GOP Voters and Betting on Independents for Reelection

Republicans and Democrats in Arizona are criticizing Senator Kyrsten Sinema over reports that she has formulated a strategy to win a potential independent reelection bid by swiping votes from both parties' candidates. Sinema's team allegedly believes she can win a majority of independent voters, a third of Republican voters, and a percentage of Democrat voters if each party nominates "extremists." Critics argue that Sinema's voting record aligns closely with President Biden and that she is not the moderate she portrays herself to be. Polls show that Sinema would lose to both a Democrat and a Republican in a hypothetical three-way race, with Democrat Ruben Gallego leading.
