Sen. Kyrsten Sinema reportedly won’t put off vacation for reconciliation vote
NY Post
Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema — a key Democratic swing vote — has said she will not be putting off August vacation plans to vote on the bipartisan infrastructure deal and $3.5 trillion reconciliation budget bill, according to a report.
Sinema, who previously said she would not support the $3.5 trillion bill that Democrats plan to push through with no Republican support, told Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) of her intentions to keep her summer plans, multiple unnamed sources told Politico’s Playbook. The news could prove difficult in passing the bills, as Sinema is a crucial vote in the reconciliation bill and negotiator for the separate bipartisan $1.2 trillion infrastructure deal. Top Senate Democrats are hoping to pass the latter before moving on to the reconciliation bill.More Related News
