Senator Sinema has left the Democratic Party

Senator Sinema has officially left the Democratic Party, which suggests that she will run as an independent in 2024.

As the article said, we already knew she belongs to the Plutocratic Party. What matters is, will this make it easier or harder to elect a better senator in her place? I fear this will make it harder — because it won't be possible to eliminate her in the Democratic Party. I don't know whether her presence in the general election as an independent candidate would help or hurt.
