Sen. Sinema Explains Why She Switched Party Affiliation to Independent
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.), revealed why she quit the Democratic Party in late last year’s Tuesday discussion at The World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Sinema stated that she was an independent lawmaker even before she changed her party affiliation in December. Due to political polarization that has been increasing in recent years, Sinema felt the need break from the party.
“Those who know me know that I was always an independent voice and always have been for the things that I believe in and for my state and for my country,” Sinema during the event, claiming the Jan. 6 Capitol breach “created, I think, concern and fear for every patriotic American across the country.”
“But in the resulting two years, the Democratic Party shared a narrative that said, ‘We would not have any more free and fair elections in this country if the United States Congress didn’t eliminate the filibuster and pass a massive voting rights package,’” Sinema has been added. “As we all know, the filibuster was not eliminated. … that massive voting rights bill was not passed through Congress. And then we had a free and fair election all across the country” She added the following during the 2022 midterms.
Sinema was referring to the voting rights bill, and the move to abolish the filibuster. Both were backed by Democrats during the two-year period when they controlled both houses of Congress.
“Individuals of both political parties, some extreme, some moderate, won. So we had a free and fair election,” She continued. “One could posit that the push by one political party to eliminate an important guardrail in an institution of our country may have been premature or overreaching in order to get the short-term victories they wanted.”

According to reports, Sinema was one of a few U.S. officials and lawmakers who flew to Davos hosted by the World Economic Forum. Sens. Joe Manchin (D.W.Va.), Chris Coonss (D.Del.), and several members of the House of Representatives will attend, while Georgia Gov. Two Republicans scheduled to attend are Rep.

“We are all stuck in a crisis mindset,” He warned, but he said his “annual meeting at Davos shall try to make sure that leaders do not remain trapped in this crisis mindset but develop a longer-term, constructive perspective to shape the future in more sustainable, more inclusive, and more resilient way.”
