Another person that could challenge Sinema in the 2024 AZ Democratic Primary.

Mark’s twin Scott.
Both were astronauts.
Both can be US Senators.
Can you imagine two twin siblings serving in the US Senate from the same state together?
US Senators Mark and Scott Kelly from AZ.

There is speculation that Scott might run against Ted Cruz in TX in 2024. nkpolitics1212 Sep 2021 #3
That's be an interesting one! Cruz is well despised in much of Tx. Budi Sep 2021 #6
Don't be so sure about that. A Scott Kelly run, & Sinema's record may just cause a shift here. Budi Sep 2021 #5

What are Scott Kelly’s chances in defeating Ted Cruz in 2024?
Beto is running for Governor in TX in 2022.

The current political conditions may just require it.

which will then affect the mid-terms negatively for Dems and the Biden admin. The DNC is loyal to the president and the party, not some ego tripping, flighty senator aligned with who know who on the right.

I'd say the Kelly twin has a good chance.

He's not a Sinema crossover from the Stein/Green Party/Libertarian..

She has a long political history & it doesn't surprise me that she would run as a D & then change positions against Democratic unity once seated.

It's not the 1st time this scenario has played out. Disappointing indeed, but there's always the next election to correct it!

I would support Scott Kelly in a heartbeat! 💙

Vote smart AZ Dems. Thank you
