Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema listened to President Joe Biden's State of the Union speech while sitting among her Republican colleagues and moderate Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin.
Sinema, I-Ariz., sat next to Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, in a section that also included Manchin, D-W.Va., and Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska; Todd Young, R-Ind.; and Steve Daines, R-Mont.
During the primetime televised address to Congress, Biden referred to several legislative achievements throughout his speech that prominently involved Sinema, as well as Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz.
For example, Biden mentioned what he called the once-in-a-generation infrastructure law that Sinema helped broker with former Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio.

(16,763 posts)It doesn't matter what she's wearing.
Leave the "what are women wearing" nonsense to the far right idiots.
Leave the sexism there too.
Democrats are never going to demonstrate they are different by acting and talking like sexist fools.
Leave the women's attire comments to the Republicans, they are better at it anyway!

I made calls to AZ for the 2022 election. One of the callers wanted reassurance she wouldn't have to make calls for Sinema.

(2,947 posts)water wars, especially in AZ, and to even propose legislation in Congress declaring that water is a right. It's the right thing to do and it may sway Independents away from the Rs, Sinema to Gallego.
It's good to have access to your representatives for such conversations. In Montana, the Democrats will meet with you, the repugs run away from their constituents like they are beggars with ill intent.
