Democrat Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona recently doubled down on her objections to eliminating the Senate filibuster rule. A Washington Post report on Monday pointed out that many Senate Democrats believe that Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will continue a pattern of obstruction if the filibuster rule is left in place.
Democrats have a slim majority, meaning that even one defection could derail the effort to overturn the filibuster rule. Joe Manchin has emerged as the most vocal Democrat opponent of filibuster reform.
But Sinema has also made it clear that she will not go along with her Democrat colleagues. Her office said recently that she is “not open to changing her mind.” A spokesperson for Sinema told the Post that the senator is “against eliminating the filibuster, and she is not open to changing her mind about eliminating the filibuster.”
