  • Senate Democrats were livid after Sens. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) and Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.), two longtime members of their caucus, voted Wednesday to block President Biden's nominee, Lauren McFerran, to serve another five-year term on the National Labor Relations Board.

The article from MSN discusses the frustration among Senate Democrats regarding the impending departure of Senator Kyrsten Sinema, who announced she would not seek re-election. Sinema, known for her centrist positions and her decision to leave the Democratic Party to become an independent, has been a source of contention due to her actions that often stymied Democratic legislative efforts. Her exit is seen by some Democrats as a relief, but there's also anger over her perceived lack of loyalty and her timing, which leaves the party in a bind for the upcoming election. The article highlights comments from Democratic senators expressing disappointment and criticism towards Sinema's tenure, describing her actions as "pathetic" and lamenting the missed opportunities for party unity and legislative progress. This situation underscores the internal divisions within the Democratic Party and the challenges it faces in maintaining a cohesive front.
