Sinema switches to independent, shaking up the Senate

Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is changing her party affiliation to independent, delivering a jolt to Democrats’ narrow majority and Washington along with it.

In a 45-minute interview, the first-term senator told POLITICO that she will not caucus with Republicans and suggested that she intends to vote the same way she has for four years in the Senate. “Nothing will change about my values or my behavior,” she said.

 In practical terms, there's no real change here - she may be nominally a Democrat, Independent, or whatever, Sinema will always do whatever she sees as immediately benefiting Kyrsten Sinema.
