The problem for Kyrsten Sinems is that she clearly made the calculation very early on that Biden and the Dems were going to get hit by a massive red wave in 2022.
So Rather than supporting Biden on passing all of his agenda and hoping that it would be enough to win over swing voters like like mark kelly did she decided she was going to be a lot more combative and fight her party on major policy issues at a time when it was hurting her president and her party
Her and Manchin ultimately succeeded in killing many of the most popular parts of the original Build back better bill and Had the red wave actually happened, she would be looking like a very smart person right about now for doing that.
Unfortunately for her the red wave never happened and the Dems actually did pretty well in Arizona. Her big bet against Biden and the Dems did not pay off at all and as a result, she had no choice but to become an independent otherwise she was going to get primaried
