The president traveled to Capitol Hill on Thursday to seek Senate Democrat support for ending the filibuster.<\/p>\n<p>His visit was upstaged by Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) after she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/01\/13\/kyrsten-sinema-joe-manchin-reject-bidens-plea-to-destroy-filibuster-election-integrity\/\">took<\/a> to the floor of the United States Senate to defend the filibuster rules just minutes before the president arrived.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike every other major civil rights bill that came along, if we miss the first time, we can come back and try it a second time,\u201d Biden said after the meeting. \u201cWe missed this time. We missed this time.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Biden\u2019s approach was not positioned for success, however, appearing to be little more than political theater that did not impress activists.<\/p>\n<p>Later Thursday evening, the president met with Sinema and Sen. Joe Manchin to discuss his agenda, but there was no notable movement in their opposition to his Build Back Better agenda or his attempt to move on federalizing elections.<\/p>\n<p>The White House continues to defend Biden\u2019s progress, despite record low polling numbers and two failed attempts to get major legislation passed.<\/p>\n<p>White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Thursday pointed to Biden\u2019s success in passing an infrastructure bill and the $1.9 trillion coronavirus emergency spending bill as evidence of progress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI guess I\u2019m biased \u2014 but pretty impressive given the margin we had in the Senate and the challenges we had up against us,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden failed again to advance legislation on his agenda, after traveling to Capitol Hill to lobby Democrats on Thursday.
