Mark Kelly is looking at Sinema's polling in AZ, which is currently in the gutter. Sinema won't win the Dem nomination in 2024. She could run as an Independent, but will be splitting the vote with a nutty Trumper. And I bet AZ's first Hispanic/Latino Senator is elected as a Democrat.

I have no idea what she's doing, but I don't think it's a winning strategy.

That’s because you don’t understand AZ politics. Not that Sinema cares as she’s not up for re-election until 2024 anyway. Mark Kelly however will have to fight for re-election in 2022. He’s quiet because he’ll vote whatever the party line says but if he’s so quiet he’s invisible the AZ populace might just vote him out on principle.

RP:

A newly released poll conducted by OH Predictive Insights, conducted from Sept. 7-12, shows how unique her political coalition of support is in these tribal times. Her net favorability is plus-7 (46 percent favorable, 39 percent unfavorable) in a state that President Biden carried by a single point. While just 56 percent of Democrats view her favorably, she holds an above-water (plus-6) rating with independents and unusually high 40 percent favorability rating among Republicans.

All told, her overall favorability rating is a notch higher than newly elected Sen. Mark Kelly. He polls between 43 and 44 percent against all Republicans in next year’s Senate race. His net favorability rating is plus-4, with 47 percent viewing him favorably and 43 percent viewing him unfavorably.

Angry progressive pundits are convinced that Sinema’s independent positioning will doom her in a Democratic primary. That is a total misread of her political situation.

OMG, who cares what Republicans tell pollsters. They may LOVE Sinema sticking her finger in Biden's eye but they will NEVER vote for her, even if she were Independent. Sinema is a poser and I suspect is on the spectrum.

McCain got 60% of the AZ vote for a reason - it wasn’t just the GOP voting for him. Since his deaths three Arizona senators have tried to keep his seat and failed.

Ever think Sinema is on to something?

McCain almost never turned his back on his own party.

Probably just climate. Which if they focused on the right things would probably get republican support anyway.

Why are my posts calling attention to Harris’ role passing the bill deleted?

Probably because they are not based in reality.

Biden's going to announce a new 'framework' for his BBB bill in one hour. Any guesses on what's he got in play?

A free childseat for every second baby! *smallprint: cannot be used in conjunction with the lost paid leave and/or recipients of the CTC

[Anonymous]

I'm curious - so are they holding a vote while he's in Rome and London until next week?

This is solid. These are the elements that most affect young families' bottom lines. Will be interesting to see where this goes.

And what about the families with any kids between the age of 6 and 18?

This stinks and I can't wait to hear AOC and Jayapal screeching about it.

Oooh Biden's got Pelosi by his side. If she forces through a vote on the BIF today I will just laugh and laugh.
