Kyrsten Sinema Gets Private Meeting with Biden

Washington Post: “Biden is hosting Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) at the White House on Tuesday in the latest meeting with individual lawmakers as he continues negotiations over his $2 trillion jobs and infrastructure package.”

Playbook: “The meeting comes just a day after Biden huddled with Manchin on the same topic — a sign that Biden is employing a charm offensive to woo the two moderates who have expressed reluctance about using reconciliation to pass infrastructure spending. Perhaps the president is trying to butter them up before making the pivot to a Democrats-only strategy? Remember: Due to the Senate’s 50-50 split, the Dems can’t do much of anything without both Sinema and Manchin on board.”
