Kyrsten Sinema has rocketed into the national zeitgeist as an enigma, one of the least understood politicians in Washington
Of course, Sinema isn’t the only Democrat standing in the way of passing Biden’s agenda. But politicos and pundits find it much easier to explain away the reservations of Manchin, a longtime moderate whose state Trump won by nearly 40 percentage points last year.
“I watched the evolution take place. And what I saw was a pragmatic side of her that frustrated me a bit, because those were not people who were doing anything good for our community,” she says. It’s nearly impossible to talk about Sinema without mentioning John McCain, the “Maverick” Republican who represented Arizona in the Senate for more than 30 years and was frequently at war with his own party.
Sinema lacks the same strong relationships with local elected officials that McCain once had, which makes occasionally breaking with the party far more difficult. In addition to quite distinct biographies — McCain, of course, was a war hero and presidential candidate — their temperaments couldn’t be more different. Unlike Sinema, McCain would talk to the press for hours at a time. And Sinema doesn’t have the fiery, confrontation-loving spirit that leads one to hold court with critics.
