Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) isn\u2019t backing down from her support of the filibuster despite pressure from her Party.<\/p>\n<p>During a border visit on Wednesday, Sinema confirmed her intention to keep the rule in place even if it blocks Democrat\u2019s legislative agenda. The Arizona moderate along with West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin (D), have made it clear they want to keep the filibuster. They argued that it \u201cprotects the democracy of our nation rather than allowing our country to ricochet wildly every two to four years.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Honored to work with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JohnCornyn?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@JohnCornyn<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepCuellar?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RepCuellar<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepTonyGonzales?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RepTonyGonzales<\/a> to build bipartisan support in the House and Senate for our Bipartisan Border Solutions Act. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Ia4E5T1rLf\">https:\/\/t.co\/Ia4E5T1rLf<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YZqn3oTAcc\">pic.twitter.com\/YZqn3oTAcc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kyrsten Sinema (@SenatorSinema) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenatorSinema\/status\/1400588111151779842?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 3, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The rule requires at least 60 votes to pass most bills in the Senate, meaning Democrats would need some GOP backing.
