Manchin and Sinema: GOP's Key Allies in Debt Talks

Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are breaking with Democrats on the debt limit and pushing for a bipartisan deal, positioning themselves as potential players in any future Senate talks on a way out of the crisis. Republicans hope they keep it coming and follow their utterances closely, hoping the duo is subtly speaking for other Democrats, too. Manchin and Sinema's push for a bipartisan solution is notable given how strongly they've resisted big portions of Biden's agenda.
