Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) reportedly does not always return President Biden’s phone calls concerning the negotiations of reconciliation, CNN reported Thursday.
“Biden himself has sounded exasperated at both Manchin and Sinema,” according to Democrat lawmakers who have spoken to Biden about reconciliation negotiations. “The President told progressives this week that he has spent many hours with the two senators ‘and they don’t move.'”
The legislative standoff is so bad that CNN’s sources told the news organization that Sinema does not “always” return phone calls from Biden.
Tester is not alone in his belief that a meeting between the senators could resolve differences. “I just think it’s better to have leaders in the room with them, try to bridge their differences,” Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) said.
Democrat infighting comes as the far-left is holding the $1.2 trillion “bipartisan” infrastructure bill hostage in exchange for assurances that radical items will be included in the $3.5 trillion reconciliation package.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) has demanded the reconciliation package be $1.5 trillion while far-left House members and socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) want to spend at least $3.5 trillion. It appears Sinema opposes any tax hike the package may contain.
Sanders told reporters Wednesday he was angry that Manchin and Sinema are holding up Biden’s radical agenda. “But two people do not have the right to sabotage what 48 want, and what the President of the United States wants. That to me is wrong,” Sanders said.

Editor’s Note: A previous version of this story listed Sen. Kyrsten Sinema as a Republican. The story has been updated accordingly.
LOL! Maybe she should be.
Ping for your amusement.
Good for her. She’s clearly not easily intimidated. But I suspect she may be getting pissed off.
Be careful, Sinema. Biden has the keys to the military, the DOJ, and the FBI, and the people pulling his strings won’t hesitate to use them against you.
I’m not answering his calls either. Especially if it comes listed as “spam risk”.
How do 48/100 ‘Rats constitute a Democracy?
If Feinstein passes this weekend or something, it’s gonna make me laugh my a$$ off
That’s just “part of the process”.
Does it ever occur to the junta running Biden that maybe Biden needs to simply accept THEIR limits, and that others do not always do when the junta wants?
A little curtsy and a thumbs down from an Arizona Maverick would go a long way to continue the existence of the Republic.
She’s probably waiting for the President to call…..Ron Klain.
Perhaps she has heard enough lies? Perhaps that is all anyone will ever hear from the Democrats? Perhaps Sinema should reconsider her party affiliation?
So is the entire country, thousands and thousands more every day.
The media may not realize it, but they're becoming an absolute joke as they constantly stick up for this fraud.
Well when one wants to take a crap in private and you are followed by Biden goons, I don’t blame her.
Breitbart SMH. Has anyone with an IQ over 100 worked there since Breitbart died?
She should say that she won’t speak to Biden, but she’ll gladly talk to whoever is really in charge.
*Jerry Seinfeld* “That’s a shame.”
Too bad Joetato. They are allowed to have their own opinions.
Maybe some lunatic should follow you into the bathroom. See how much you like it.
She shouldn't. He's much too old for her.
If Ms. Sinema is anything like me, she will do the opposite.
I’m a contrarian that way. Don’t like to be told what to do.
