Arizona senator leaves Democratic Party, declares to be independent

 Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema has left the Democratic Party and will be unaffiliated with either major political party. She vowed the change doesn't reflect a move in her politics or beliefs, saying in the short clip it is "a reflection of who I've always been."

The immediate implications weren't entirely clear for a Senate that appeared to be 51-49 Democrats following the Georgia runoff election

  • Speculation of Simena or West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Minchin changing parties had swirled to varying degrees since the victory in Pennsylvania by Democrat John Fetterman flipped a red seat blue- Republican Sen. Pat Toomey declined to run for reelection
