Sen. Kyrsten Sinema talks infrastructure with President Joe Biden in White House meeting [View all]
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.
Sinema’s 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 Biden’s infrastructure plan, which he has described as a “once-in-a-generation investment” in the United States.
Corporate tax increases would primarily pay for the plan, which aims to upgrade the nation’s brick-and-mortar infrastructure, such as roads, airports and bridges, while expanding services to “human infrastructure,” by broadening care for seniors and others.
