Sinema Deals Fatal Blow to Democrats’ ‘Voting Rights’ Bill Two Days After Biden Calls on Senate to Nuke Filibuster

Democrat Senator Kyrsten Sinema (AZ) nuked Joe Biden’s agenda on Thursday.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on Tuesday traveled to Atlanta, Georgia to push the Democrats’ ‘voting rights’ bill that will make it easier for them to steal elections.

Biden and Harris called on the Senate to nuke the filibuster in order to pass a federal takeover of elections.

Sinema delivered a fiery speech from the Senate floor and reiterated her support for the filibuster rule.

“There’s no need for me to restate my longstanding support for the 60-vote threshold to pass legislation. There’s no need for me to restate its role in protecting our country from wild reversals of federal policy,” Sinema said. “This week’s harried discussions about Senate rules are but a poor substitute for what I believe could have and should have been a thoughtful public debate at any time over the past year.”

“I will not support separate actions that worsen the underlying disease of division infecting our country,” Sinema said.

Yep, BEFORE Biden met with them. Manchin gave strong reiteration of his position, will not deal.
