Two Different Paths In Arizona

June 18, 2021 · 12:30 pm ET · Leave a Comment

New York Times: “This week, all eyes in Washington have been on Kyrsten Sinema and other moderate senators as they pursue a bipartisan infrastructure bill. But by refusing to eliminate the filibuster, she and other Democratic senators have left in doubt the passage of sweeping voting rights legislation that many on the left view as an existential necessity in the face of a nationwide Republican crackdown.”

“Katie Hobbs, by contrast, has gained newfound fame in her party for facing down withering attacks from Republicans — including death threats against her and her family that prompted round-the-clock security from state troopers — and for denouncing a widely criticized GOP audit of votes in the state’s largest county as a sham and a threat to democracy.”
