Senator Kyrsten Sinema, the moderate Arizona Democrat who has objected to the size and scope of President Bidens sweeping legislative agenda, has been trailed all over the country by progressive activists seeking to pressure her. They have followed her into a bathroom in Arizona, on an airplane and even to the Boston Marathon.
But this week, with the Senate out of session, those activists would have had to travel even farther to press their case with Ms. Sinema in person shes in Europe on a fund-raising trip.
A spokesman for Ms. Sinema said she had participated in fund-raising for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee but declined to say where or provide any additional details. One person briefed on the matter said an event had occurred in Paris. It was not clear whether her trip to Europe was at the urging of the party committee.
The chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Senator Gary Peters of Michigan, is also in Europe this week and headlined a dinner on Wednesday in London, with contribution levels as much as $36,500, according to a copy of an invitation. Ms. Sinemas name does not appear on that invitation.

She grew up in poverty, felt very deprived, embarrassed. Now money, fame, attention are important.

(86,071 posts)3. She sure is happy to...
lead a life of luxury on the taxpayer dime. She doesn't talk to her constituents at all yet expects them and us to fund her social life which is a vector for more fundraising.

Safely come to such a conclusion.

Nothing else seems to matter.
Doing her job, representing the voters, being a team player, all seem meaningless to her.

she needs to do her GD job.

When people ask Kyrsten Sinema if she wants to run for president someday, the Arizona senator usually has a stock answer: Im overqualified.
