Can Sen. Sinema's bipartisan ideology give her more wins in the Senate?

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., is a staunch supporter
of passing congressional legislation by bringing both
Republicans and Democrats on board, an approach that has taken on
increased urgency in the 50-50 split U.S. Senate.  
Sinema's first high-profile demonstration of her
approach is the framework for the $1.2 trillion infrastructure
deal she recently co-negotiated, and President Joe Biden
endorsed. Twenty-one senators, 10 Democrats and 11
Republicans, have also signed on to the tentative framework,
which could start soon start making its way through the legislative
process. Sinema has other bipartisan legislative plans in the
works. She is working closely with Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, on a
plan to increase the federal minimum
wage and separately with Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas,
that seeks to address the ongoing waves of asylum seekers
arriving at the southern border, which have strained the Border
Patrol and local communities.  But can Sinema's
approach to bipartisanship in an era marked by extreme
partisanship help deliver legislation beyond spending
money on the nation's roads, bridges and water systems?
In this week's episode of The Gaggle: An Arizona politics
podcast, hosts Yvonne Wingett Sanchez and Ronald J.
Hansen are joined by Sarah Binder, a professor of political science
at George Washington University.  Binder breaks
down Sinema's position in the U.S. Senate to lead
negotiations on infrastructure and how she compares to other
centrist Democrats.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
