Will Democrats be able to hold onto Sinema's US Senate seat if Sinema gets defeated in the primary?

2024 AZ US Senate Democratic Primary.
Sinema-D vs Stanton-D
Sinema-D vs Ruben or Kate Gallego-D
Sinema-D vs Hobbs-D.
I am suggesting that Sinema-D will face a tough Democratic primary challenge because she has voted with the Republicans more than every Democratic US Senator except Manchin-WV.

I don't see the logic in primarying a Senator who turned a red seat blue. AZ is not Brooklyn, it's still a very conservative place.

Ossoff(D-GA) and Warnock(D-GA) are more progressive.
Tester(D-MT)
Brown(D-OH)
AZ Democrats need top tier candidates(Stanton-D or Hobbs-D) to challenge and defeat Sinema-D in the Democratic primary in 2024 in order to hold onto that AZ US Senate seat in the November 2024 General Election. Stanton-D and/or Hobbs-D are also likely candidates for AZ Governor in 2022. Whoever does not win the 2022 Democratic nomination for AZ Governor will challenge Sinema-D in 2024.
