They already had independent senators who were considered part of their block. Nothing realistically changes since Sinema, like Manchin, didn't always side with the Democrats. It's just a change in her official designation. They still won't be able to pass anything if both of those rebel just as they did before but they still maintain control of the House since Manchin never tended to rebel on critical matters like a Supreme Court Justice or anything going after Biden.
Sinema would need to switch to the Republicans for them to lose the House officially.
