Sinema Stymies Biden’s Latest Agenda Push.

“President Biden’s campaign to push new voting rights protections through Congress appeared all but dead on Thursday, after it became clear that he had failed to unite his own party behind his drive to overhaul Senate rules to enact the legislation over Republican opposition.
In an embarrassing setback for Mr. Biden, Senator Kyrsten Sinema, Democrat of Arizona, stunned her colleagues just hours before the president was slated to make his case to them in person at the Capitol by taking the Senate floor to declare that she would not support undermining the filibuster to pass legislation under any circumstances.”
Senator Sinema from Arizona is the latest to deal President Biden a major setback when it comes to enacting voting rights legislation. The Biden Administration must get its ducks in a row and find out who is in support of various agenda goals before presenting them as a done deal to the public and further damage the overall image of the Administration. Hopefully he will begin to adopt new tactics as he heads into the 2nd year of his administration.
