YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema and the Six Senate Party Defectors.

A new indy band out of Arizona?

Nope -- it's the new episode of C-SPAN's podcast "The Weekly."

First, some fun facts:

• Of the six most recent Senate independents, Kyrsten Sinema is only the second from a state not in New England.

• The Senate now has three Independents serving at the same time -- the most ever.

• And Sinema is the first independent or third-party Senator who is a woman.

Since 1890 and before Sen. Kyrsten Sinema in December 2022, 21 Senators changed parties during their Senate service.

In "The Weekly," we remember six of those 21 Senators... the six most recent – the ones who defected on C-SPAN.
