U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema wouldn’t commit to supporting her party’s $2 trillion domestic agenda during a sit-down interview with CNN on Thursday, but she didn’t provide specifics on how to secure her vote.
“Folks know I don’t negotiate in the press, so I’m not going to do that with you,” the first-term Democrat from Arizona replied after CNN’s Lauren Fox asked what she wanted to change in the Build Back Better legislation passed by the House last month.
With no sign of support from any Republicans, all 50 of the majority Democratic party’s senators have to vote yes to send the plan to boost social and education programs and global warming protections to President Joe Biden’s desk.
However, Sinema and Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, a fellow moderate Democrat, have been reluctant to sign off on the House version.
