Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) indicated to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland that the results of the midterm elections backed up her resistance — alongside Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) — to not change the filibuster rules in the U.S. Senate.

“One could posit that the push by one political party to eliminate an important guardrail and an institution in our country may have been premature or overreaching, in order to get the short-term victories they wanted.”

[One could argue that Democrats did better than expected and therefore didn’t actually suffer damage from that debate. However, with Democrats defending eleven more Senate seats than the GOP in 2024 — including Sinema’s — you can bet it will mean a lot more in that cycle. — Ed]
