Pandemic turning purple states blue. Why conservatives lost the midterms.

Sen\. Kyrsten Sinema of AZ quits Dems goes Independent. Up for reelection next time and worried. Its back to 50-50.

Joe Manchin D WVa now back in drivers seat.

Don't assume Sinema is going to automatically vote with Republicans. She wants to retain her committee assignments given to her by the Democrats.
I'll believe she will go against the Dems when I see it.

Right. She has already said that she will not caucus with the Republicans. Even if she doesn't caucus with the Dems it would then be 50-49. Assuming she does indeed continue to caucus with the Dems it'll remain 51-49. Either way the Dems have a majority.
