President Joe Biden was due to arrive on Capitol Hill to plead to Democrats to change the Senate rules to pass voting rights legislation, but Sen. Krysten Sinema said she’s not on board.Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is facing new heat from those who helped elect her after she and Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia this week were the only two Democrats to vote against filibuster reform, effectively derailing passage of voting rights legislation.
Over the summer, the Arizona Democratic Party promised to give Sinema a vote of"no confidence" if she didn't change her stance to clear the way voting reform. The state executive committee meets on Saturday to discuss a possible"no confidence" vote."This should not be a partisan issue -- the duty to protect our most fundamental right to vote is one that we all share," Arizona Democratic Party Chairwoman Raquel Teran said in a statement.
Sinema lost a major endorsement this week from Emily's List, a large political organization that bankrolls campaigns they endorse, including those who support abortion rights. Those same activists have written to other big political donor groups, including the Human Rights Campaign, which focuses on LGBTQ+ issues.
Shes a FAKE DEMOCRAT... SOOOO yes... See her & Manchin... Out of the Dem. party.
She needs to be fired. How does a recall referendum get started?
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is facing new heat. Our political parties have lost respect for individual thought and collaboration.
How many people realize that tax payor funded campaign contributions are built into this bill? Don't let it fool you, voter reform is the front. Hundreds of millions.... Out of our pockets into the wealthy politicians.
They both are under the influence of trump
About time.
Maybe because it's not reform....if you won the most votes in history, why would you want to change the laws? Let that sink in.....
As she should!!
Kyrsten Sinema will do just fine in Az! Stay strong Kyrsten, you and Manchin are the voice of reason in the Democrat party!
Congress people are often out of touch with their constituents
She needs to go she is destroying our voting rights
Just like John McCain, she’s a “Maverick”
She was never a Democrat, more like a Republican running as a Democrat to get elected
She does have nice boobs though….
Much of the vocal 'heat' by extremist 'progressives' gets lost on voters who know better.
I hope she looses her seat.
Good.
I look forward to seeing her ousted.... 🤷Treats her job like something out of the Hunger Games. 🙅
They did the right thing, now what about the border? seanhannity
Rep.Kyrsten Simema Is a true American hero who knew. She save our democracy and you know it's not going to be easy cause the courrpt swamp runs deep. Look what they have done to president Trump. Were lucky he is a fighter. The courrpt swamp doesn't give up.
I pray she loses her job come 2024 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
She just needs to go.
Someone must have unplugged the fake news TV in the break room.

More fire for the. They are killing the entire agenda, and there are more like them. We need to talk them to the republican side because that's what they are
They should be given medals for standing up for what’s right…
Dow tit..
As well she should.
Ironic, kyrstensinema actions will hurt herself. Blocking the voting rights of the black and brown people who put her in office.
I’m sorry, but everyone has the ability to vote. This is crazy, WHY is this an issue? Can ya please focus on the big issues folks. What the hell happened to the environment, social justice, collage tuition, or I don’t know… stop telling Russia “it’s cool to have a peak”.
Liberals will tar feather and cancel even their own if they won't toe the line. endjustifiesthemeans
Good I hope who goes up against her wins
I donated to your campaign SenatorSinema and now will spend even more on your next election against you. You had your chance to do the right thing. The filibuster needs to go. The US needs voting rights now more than ever to save what’s left of our democracy! 🇺🇸
Who exactly can't vote? I never actually see anyone answer this. BTW 80% of people are for voter id. Overwhelming bipartisan support.
(filibuster) to try to delay action in Congress or another law-making group by making very long speeches Opponents of the bill tried to filibuster its final stages
Good News....
Imagine her in 1861 - 'I believe slavery is wrong and should be outlawed but I can't do anything about it because my southern colleagues don't seem to agree.'
Probably worried about her LULU stocks.
It will never be enough.
Ds are criminals
As they should.
This woman is not being straight with anyone.
Democrats eating their own. Midterms are going to be a disaster.
Everyone over the age of 18 can vote, unless they are a felon is some states. There is no need for a voting rights bill with fed oversight.
