Seems she’s not yet been swayed by Schumer & Company’s rhetoric

Sinema to Senate Dems: Absolutely no nuclear option or filibuster change

Joe Manchin already tossed cold water on Schumer’s plan yesterday, with the folksy explanation that such carve-outs usually force you to “eat the whole turkey.” Manchin didn’t explicitly declare his opposition to a nuclear option to change the filibuster rule, but apparently Kyrsten Sinema has — repeatedly and recently:

Voting rights: Schumer says the Senate will vote on a package of Senate rules changes by Jan. 17 — less than two weeks away.

While Manchin said he’s still talking with his colleagues, he isn’t on board with a filibuster carve-out for voting rights — calling it “a heavy lift” — and isn’t willing to go nuclear and eliminate the filibuster altogether.
“Once you change a rule, or you have a carve-out … you eat the whole turkey,” the senator told a COVID-thinned group of pool reporters on Tuesday.
He added that he would want any reform of Senate rules to have GOP buy-in — a long-shot to near impossible ask.
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), also a key holdout to major filibuster reform, reiterated during the Democratic lunch she will not support any effort to get rid of the 60-vote threshold, according to two sources familiar with the call.
Sinema has been having one-on-one talks with her colleagues for weeks, one of the sources said.
