Should Pres. Biden offer Sinema an ambassadorship or cabinet position?

Sometime next year, he should offer her a job. It'll allow her to save face and not lose a bruising primary, and it would allow Gov. Hobbs to appoint a replacement to serve out the remainder of her term and give that person a leg up on the 2024 race as an incumbent.

It's a win-win for both! Everyone is happy. I'm sure the Ambassador's residence in Rome is a nice gig.
