Independent U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona announced on March 5 that she will not seek reelection for a second term, preventing a potential three-way race in November.

Ms. Sinema made her announcement on Super Tuesday after the Senate GOP blocked a bipartisan bill intended to fortify the southern border while delivering additional military aid to Israel and Ukraine.
