Senate Democrats were livid after Sens. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) and Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.), two longtime members of their caucus, voted Wednesday to block President Bidens nominee, Lauren McFerran, to serve another five-year term on the National Labor Relations Board.
Senate Democrats blasted their votes to sink Bidens nominee and hand Republicans a major victory as pathetic and disappointing.
Some angry Democratic senators went even further by saying theyll be happy when both Sinema and Manchin are finally out of the Senate next year.
I think people are not sorry to see them go, said one Democratic senator, who requested anonymity to discuss the lingering resentments over Sinemas and Manchins habit of bucking the party.
