(CNN) Over the weekend, the Arizona Democratic Party voted to formally censure one of its own -- Sen. Kyrsten Sinema -- after she opposed changing the filibuster rules to allow major voting rights legislation to pass the Senate with just 50 votes. The move was made as a "result of her failure to do whatever it takes to ensure the health of our democracy," according to Arizona Democratic Party Chair Raquel Terán. On the other, it speaks to a broader question: How much political trouble is Sinema actually in? "Sinema needs to watch out for a potential Democratic primary," longtime Democratic strategist Paul Begala said over the weekend . Arizona Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego has been public about his frustrations with Sinema and his interest in taking her on.
