.thereidout Blog: Arizonans really want this policy, but Sen. Sinema won’t let them have it
throughout the monthslong Build Back Better negotiations. Following news of her watered-down drug price proposal, her staff went into spin mode:
“As she promised Arizonans, Kyrsten is working hard to ensure prescription drugs are available at the lowest cost possible, and she looks forward to continuing that work,” her spokeswoman, Hannah Hurley,“I don’t know who’s advising her — whoever it is really needs to sit down and rethink this calculus,” Karl Gentles, a longtime political strategist in Arizona, told me this week.
Gentles has worked across the ideological spectrum over the last 30 years, from the late Republican Sen. John McCain’s office to the Maricopa County Democratic Party, where he currently co-chairs the Black engagement committee.
The spending bill is expected to be finalized next week. If Sinema’s latest power play is successful, and Medicare negotiations are left out, she’ll have satisfied her corporate donors in the pharmaceutical industry — even if it meant spurning her own state.
