Sen. Kyrsten Sinema talks infrastructure with President Joe Biden in White House meeting
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema met with President Joe Biden Tuesday as the White House seeks to shore up support for his $2.3 trillion American Jobs Plan proposal.
Sinemas meeting at the White House comes a day after Biden met with another key centrist Democrat, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., who, like Sinema, opposes elimination of the legislative filibuster, the procedural maneuver that requires 60 votes to end debate on bills in the 100-member chamber.
The meetings were about Bidens infrastructure plan, which he has described as a once-in-a-generation investment in the United States.
