The filibuster, the border, and minimum wage: A conversation with Sen. Kyrsten Sinema on The Gaggle

The Gaggle: An Arizona politics podcast

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., is a central figure in a 50-50 split Senate. Democrats hold control but only with Vice President Kamala Harris acting as a tiebreaker.

Sinema, a centrist Democrat, holds outsize political power and has the ability to make or break President Joe Biden's legislative agenda.

She ran in 2018 on the promise to work in a bipartisan manner. How is she doing that? What do we know about her long-term legislative goals?

In this week's episode of The Gaggle: An Arizona politics podcast, hosts Yvonne Wingett Sanchez and Ronald J. Hansen have a one-on-one conversation with Sinema. The Democratic senator, who rarely speaks with reporters at length, outlined her legislative goals on the minimum wage and border security as well as responded to criticisms of her refusal to get rid of the legislative filibuster.
