more a year ago when biden was doing very well in the polls. i think, unfortunately, because of his polling drop, it has made him more susceptible for these sorts of maneuvers. and i think one of the things that has become very clear to me is that this has become extremely personal for these two senators and president biden. i mean, that speech that kyrsten sinema gave about a week ago when joe biden was coming to the senate. there s a lot of discussions as to why she gave the speech, but to me it was clear that the one thing she was trying to do was stick it to biden. and that is something that she would not if she felt that he was stronger. let s take a look at that and get your reaction on the other side. here s sinema on the floor. these bills help treat the symptoms of the disease. but they do not fully address the disease itself. and while i continue to support these bills, i will not support separate actions that worsen the
