Sen. Kyrsten Sinema vows she 'won't bend to pressure from either party'

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is building working relationships with her Republican colleagues even as Democratic frustrations mount over her unwillingness to change Senate rules to ease passage of President Joe Biden's legislative agenda.

In a chamber marked by extreme partisanship, Sinema, D-Ariz., is winning praise from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and other GOP senators for her unflinching stance against jettisoning the filibuster, the controversial procedural maneuver that will require Biden's priorities to clear 60-vote hurdles in the evenly divided 100-member Senate.
