Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) on June 2 defended the Senate filibuster as an essential tool and confirmed that she won’t vote to abolish it.
The filibuster “is a tool that protects the democracy of our nation rather than allowing our country to ricochet wildly every two to four years back and forth between policies,” Sinema told reporters in Arizona after touring the border with Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas).
