"Sinema's Departure from Democratic Party Leads to Loss of Donor Support"

Democratic donors have been abandoning Senator Kyrsten Sinema since she left the party, and she has struggled to make up the loss with Republicans or independents. An analysis of her campaign finance data shows that her previous contributors are more loyal to the Democratic Party than to Sinema herself. This poses a challenge for her as she considers whether to seek reelection, as she will have to build a base solely on her personal brand. While she still has more money in the bank than her potential Democratic challenger, Sinema's fundraising has slowed, and many of her 2018 donors do not seem eager to support her again.
