Kyrsten Sinema just put the nail in the coffin on filibuster reform.
John,
Kyrsten Sinema just killed the Democrats’ effort to save voting rights.
In theory, passing this shouldn’t be a difficult feat. But Senator Kyrsten Sinema is holding us back.
Less than 24 hours after Joe Biden called for passage of the voting rights legislation named for John Lewis, Sinema went to the floor of the Senate and gave a maddening speech. She made it clear she will not support any filibuster reforms, even if that means sacrificing our democracy to devastating Republican attacks on voting rights.
We've tried everything else. Joe Biden has invited her to the White House countless times. We've tried reshaping bills around her demands. We've tried to get meetings with her to explain how important this legislation is.
