Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) said she opposes the Democrats’ plan to tie the $3.5 trillion budget resolution bill to the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package, adding her name to the list of Democrats who say the budget resolution is too pricey.

Sinema was one of the senators who helped negotiate the $1.2 trillion infrastructure package recently passed in the Senate. Centrist House Democrats are calling on Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to pass the infrastructure bill on its own and not force a vote on the costly $3.5 trillion budget resolution.
