WASHINGTON, DC: Senator Kyrsten Sinema jokingly claimed she’s "overqualified" to become president during a panel at 'The All In Summit' earlier this month.

When Jason Calacanis, one of the co-hosts of the 'All-In' podcast, brought up the idea of running for president, Sinema responded with a laugh, saying, “I’m overqualified.”



 

Krysten Sinema's 'fairly libertarian' remarks 

Krysten Sinema’s quip about being "overqualified" came as she discussed her future plans to transition into the private sector once she leaves the Senate in a few months.

During the same panel, the former Democrat also described herself as "fairly libertarian" at the core, saying this aligns with the values of most Arizonans.

This self-description came after a discussion about why some Democrats are seen as “anti-capitalist.”

Expressing confusion at this stance, she remarked, "I don’t understand because that’s where the money comes from."

Krysten Sinema's praise for private sector

Elaborating on her support for the private industry, Krysten Sinema emphasized that it is where ideas, innovation, and funding for social programs originate.

"I struggle with the idea of wanting to eliminate the private industry because that is where the ideas come from," she said.

"That’s where the innovation comes from, and that’s where the money comes from to fund the social programs that are important to protect the vulnerable in our country," added the independent senator from Arizona.

As Sinema nears the end of her Senate career, she made it clear that her future lies in the private sector which she believes holds the key to driving the country forward, regardless of what happens in Washington.

"There’s a real opportunity to move our country forward, despite the gridlock in government, through private industry, and that’s where I want to work," she added.
