5. Gallego left the Progressive Caucus before he ran for Senate

Sinema used to be very liberal member of the state legislature and I actually voted for her over the Bill Clinton and Obama endorsed candidate when she first ran for Congress but right away she voted in a way that tended to favor Wall Street so I wasn't fooled by the time she became a Senator. I voted for Deedra Abboud in that primary knowing Sinema would turn out like she did.

As far as Gallego he left the Progressive Caucus and ran campaign ads on "the border". He also voted to sanction the ICC before he was elected to the Senate which was a different position than Pelosi or the Biden White House.
