ReutersA consortium of political advocacy groups are pushing for an investigation into allegations that Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) has had staffers running her personal errands and performing sundry household tasks on the taxpayer dime.As first reported in December by The Daily Beast, Sinema aides are bound by a 37-page memo that lays out a very specific set of demands: the senator’s groceries are to be picked up promptly, her hour-long massages are to be booked weekly, and her internet service

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, who is now an independent, is considering a 2024 reelection bid after Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego jumped into the race.

While incumbent Independents and Democrat senators topped the list for the most cash on hand, GOP incumbents Sens. Rick Scott and Ted Cruz raised the most cash during the year-end quarter.

Democrat Ruben Gallego has held the first public events of his U.S. Senate campaign, taking aim at independent incumbent Kyrsten Sinema and casting his candidacy in a patriotic appeal to the American dream.

"Nobody in Arizona has really spoken to her in the last four years. This is why she is where she is," Rep. Gallego said of Sen. Sinema on Thursday.

There’s no shortage of Democratic senators in danger of losing their seats in 2024. Joe Manchin in ruby-red West Virginia. Jon Tester in solidly Republican Montana. Sherrod Brown in ever-more-conservative Ohio. And their colleagues in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Michigan — four of the purplest places on the map.

Senate Democrats returned to Washington to wield their newly expanded majority this week, but the specter of potential retirements in their ranks is already raising anxiety.

More than 27,000 donations contributed to Gallego's haul, breaking a state record previously held by incumbent Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly, the campaign said.

Former Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts was sworn into the U.S. Senate on Monday, replacing Republican Sen. Ben Sasse as the Senate returns from several weeks of recess and begins a new session of closely-divided government.

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema will have the last say on who replaces her and in the meantime plans to do something shocking: Govern.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Ruben Gallego says he’ll challenge independent U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona in 2024.

Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego, a liberal firebrand and prominent Latino lawmaker, announced Monday he'll challenge independent U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema in 2024, becoming the first candidate to jump into the race and setting up a potential three-way contest. Gallego said he'd fight for normal people struggling to make ends meet and losing faith in politicians. “I'm better for this job than Kyrsten Sinema because I haven’t forgotten where I came from,” Gallego told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview.

Rep. Ruben Gallego will run for Senate in Arizona, setting up a potential three-way race in the battleground state that poses a threat to independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s hold on the seat.

Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., is set to launch a Senate bid against independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema in 2024 and will be announcing his bid via a bilingual video released Monday.

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced Thursday morning that he’s reached an agreement with colleagues on amendments to the 4,155-page omnibus so the Senate can pass the bill later in the day and give the House a chance to act Friday. And it looks like his savior may be independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.), who…

Arizona Democratic Congressman Ruben Gallego said in a recent interview that "some senators" are encouraging him to run against independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema in 2024.

Surely there’s some electoral calculation behind the Arizona senator’s decision to leave the Democratic Party, but the timing is especially confusing.

Conversations with her former canvassers reveal anger and disappointment with the newly independent senator from Arizona.

For the first two years, Harris was a tiebreaker in a 50-50 Senate, which aides used as a ready excuse for why she couldn't travel. Will that now change?

A party in such a situation almost always lines up behind the most likely winner. But history might not be the best guide to what Democrats will do in Arizona.
