Sanders Unfazed by Sinema's Exit, Eyes on Arizona Senate Race

As Sen. Kyrsten Sinema announces she will not seek re-election, the political landscape shifts with a focus on the upcoming battle between Gallego and Lake.

  • Sen. Bernie Sanders expressed no regret over Sen. Kyrsten Sinema's decision not to seek re-election, criticizing her for blocking key Democratic initiatives.
  • Sinema's departure sets up a likely race between Rep. Ruben Gallego and Kari Lake for the Arizona Senate seat.
