Democratic leaders and progressives in Congress have hounded Sinema and Manchin over their refusal to rubber stamp Biden’s high-spending priorities.
Daily Wire " Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) has reportedly ignored phone calls from President Joe Biden as he tries to wrangle her support for his agenda.
"Biden’s frustration with the Arizona senator is growing as she and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) continue to stall the White House’s efforts to push costly legislation through Congress. The feeling of frustration is apparently mutual as Sinema has begun blowing off calls from the White House, according to CNN. As the outlet reports:
"“Off the charts,” one Democratic senator told CNN on Thursday when asked about the caucus’ frustration with Manchin, contending many senators privately gripe that the West Virginia Democrat takes his public stands for “publicity” reasons.
"Biden himself has sounded exasperated at both Manchin and Sinema, according to Democratic lawmakers who have spoken to him. The President told progressives this week that he has spent many hours with the two senators “and they don’t move,” two sources said. Biden even contended that Sinema didn’t always return calls from the White House, the sources added.
