Sinema's Diplomatic Role in Resolving Pentagon Promotion Conflicts
Originally Published 2 years ago — by POLITICO
Senator Kyrsten Sinema, known for her defense of the Senate filibuster and close relationships with Republicans, is playing a key role in resolving the gridlock over blockaded Pentagon promotions. She has been working behind the scenes to find a bipartisan solution to Senator Tommy Tuberville's holds on military promotions, and her efforts have earned the support of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Sinema's focus on relationships with Republicans and her ability to navigate Senate rules may prove critical in garnering the necessary votes to break the impasse. If successful, it will bolster her belief that minority-party rights in the Senate can be preserved.
