I must wonder if QAnon supporters of Arizona are awaiting her decision to do just this and be a part of the GOP caucus.
“As she knows, because I’ve conveyed this to her many times, we would welcome her in our caucus,” John Thune, the second-ranking Senate Republican said at the Capitol late Monday after Democratic Representative Ruben Gallego announced he would run for the Arizona seat in 2024 as a more liberal alternative to Sinema.
Thune said Sinema was welcome to stay an independent and caucus with Republicans or fully switch to the GOP, either of which would complicate, but not end, Democratic control of the chamber. A switch potentially could give her crucial party support ahead of any reelection bid, as backing from Democrats is uncertain with Gallego in the race.
