Description
On the campaign trail, Super Tuesday was a romp for Joe Biden and Donald
Trump — though both men stopped short of a clean sweep in their parties’
respective contests. Down the ticket, we now have a clear view of what
the November general election will look like in some of the nation’s
most pivotal House and Senate contests. And yet, for all of that,
Tuesday’s most consequential news might be about someone who isn’t going
to be on the ballot this fall: Sen. Kyrsten Sinema. The colorful Arizona
independent announced that she will not seek reelection this year — a
move with significant implications not just for November, but for the
future of the Senate. Politico Deputy Managing Editor for Congress Elana
Schor sits down with Playbook Deputy Editor Zack Stanton to discuss what
it all means on the micro level — and the larger trend it hints at on a
macro level.
