Biden said privately he has no idea why Sinema is trying to stop his legislative agenda, book says

President Joe Biden privately expressed perplexity at why Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona helped block key parts of his legislative agenda, according to extracts from a new book published by Axios.

The book, "This Will Not Pass," by New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns, is the first major account of the first year of the Biden administration.

It details the obstacles the president has encountered in getting key parts of his legislative agenda through Congress, where the Democrats hold a razor-thin Senate majority.

The extract details a number of times Sinema opposed Biden, including one occasion when she asked why she should wear a COVID mask in his presence.

but the way she dresses is bizarre. There is nothing that would promote respect to at least the office that she holds.

Yes, I know, there are several members of the House that will not earn any respect in the way they dress, but I think that she is the only senator.
