Will Marshall, President of the Progressive Policy Institute, released the following statement following the news that Kyrsten Sinema is registering as an independent:
“After ceaseless attacks by left-wing ideologues, it’s no surprise that Kyrsten Sinema has become the U.S. Senate’s third independent. Rather than follow Republicans down the rabbit-hole of extremism and ideological conformism, the Democratic Party should be a welcoming place for elected leaders who think for themselves. To build solid majorities and break the stalemate in American politics, Democrats need to expand their coalition, not shrink it.”
