Oh, Snap!

It appears that Reuben Gallego is significantly outraising Kyrsten Sinema for the Arizona Senate election.

When he sold her soul to the hedge fund types, she did not anticipate that her electoral prospects for 2024 would be so poor that they did not find her career to deliver sufficient returns:

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) reported raising $2.1 million in the first three months of the year, trailing her likely Democratic challenger Ruben Gallego’s total but still positioning her with significant financial resources if she chooses to run for reelection.

The former Democrat, who left the party in December, brought in funds from several prominent Republican donors and Wall Street sources. She raised more than $280,000 from employees of Blackstone, the private investment company, and $196,000 from employees of the Carlyle Group, a private equity firm, according to her campaign’s filings.

Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci also gave her campaign the maximum $3,300, while the No Labels Problem Solvers PAC gave $10,000. Her campaign reported nearly $10 million cash on hand.

This is, of course, why she is widely loathed by everyone but people like Blackstone, Carlyle, Scaramucci, and the dark-money "No Labels".  She is clearly bought and paid for.

Sinema has kept mum so far on whether she plans to run for reelection in 2024. Should she decide to launch a bid, it could spark a three-way race as Democrats have largely coalesced around Gallego, whose campaign reported raising $3.7 million between his January launch and the end of March. His campaign committee reported $2.7 million cash on hand in documents filed with the FEC on Friday.
She cannot win the primary, she is that widely loathed in the party, so her only hope is that she can convince the party not to run in Arizona, which ain't gonna happen, because whoever made that decision would be dead to the Democratic Party.
