As a House Rep true but not as a Senator.
“The top two Senate Democrats who have voted against their party the most often in the current Congress are Manchin at 11% and Jon Tester of Montana at 3.2%, according to ProPublica. Sinema has voted against her party six times this Congress, or 2.8% of the time, putting her in third place, according to ProPublica.
During the 115th Congress, Sinema as a member of the U.S. House voted with former President Donald Trump 62.6% of the time and in the 116th Congress, as a senator, she voted with him 26.2% of the time, according to FiveThirtyEight.
However, she has a 100% record of voting with Biden in this Congress.”
Ok, that explains a lot.
With Manchin and Sinema, I expect that the filibuster is not in jeopardy.
That was a mouthful!
She is no longer subject to pressure from the Democratic Party. Their threats no longer have much effect.
Yeah, some punctuation got mangled there.
And I was sober so I have no excuses
I am sure this was coordinated with Schumer. Very likely, the Dems will not field a candidate in Arizona in 2024 so as to enable her to win. I guess the question is whether the GOP and Independent voters in Arizona are stupid enough to fall for it. I’m guessing so.
Yeh, probably so. Sadly though, Arizona is stuck with Kelley for six more years 😡….
Sanders and King ‘caucus’ with the Democrats; Sienna now will not; so the Democratic Caucus has 50; the Republicans 49 and Sienna a ‘true’ independent.
It’s awful, but that is the way it works.
There will be more Republicans in the chamber than democrats in the new senate on day 1 and almost every other day of the session unless someone is missing on the R side.
On the D side; they still will have trouble getting things done when people like Feinstein can’t make it in to work.
