Due to political polarization that has been increasing in recent years, Sinema felt the need break from the party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose 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,\u201d Sinema <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/atrupar\/status\/1615404347315060757\">during the event<\/a>, claiming the Jan. 6 Capitol breach \u201ccreated, I think, concern and fear for every patriotic American across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut in the resulting two years, the Democratic Party shared a narrative that said, \u2018We would not have any more free and fair elections in this country if the United States Congress didn\u2019t eliminate the filibuster and pass a massive voting rights package,\u2019\u201d Sinema has been added. \u201cAs we all know, the filibuster was not eliminated. \u2026 that massive voting rights bill was not passed through Congress. And then we had a free and fair election all across the country\u201d She added the following during the 2022 midterms.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndividuals of both political parties, some extreme, some moderate, won. So we had a free and fair election,\u201d She continued. \u201cOne 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>World Economic Forum Meeting<\/h2>\n<p>According to reports, Sinema was one of a few U.S. officials and lawmakers who flew to Davos hosted by the World Economic Forum.
