Rep. Wild Says Sen. Sinema 'Isn't In The Right Party' If She's Against Lowering Drug Costs - MSNBC



As Democrats negotiate what will stay and what might get cut from Pres. Biden’s multi-trillion dollar “human” infrastructure bill, Pennsylvania Congresswoman Susan Wild tells Mehdi Hasan that her priority is, “Medicare negotiation of prescription drug prices…it would result in huge savings for taxpayers”. As for the rift arising between moderate and progressive sides of the party she adds, “Labels don’t work within the Democratic caucus... I’ve thought of myself as a moderate but I fully believe that we’ve got to repair the effects of climate change." Aired on 10/09/2021.

And her constituents voted for a Democrat, so she needs to be replaced with a real one.

8. She will switch if (when?) the GQP takes the Senate in 2022.

Right now she's in a position to protect her friends in the pharma industry by sabotaging Biden's agenda. She's already received $750,000 from the pharmaceutical and medical instrument industries.

Or maybe she will flip flop on those issues as well.
At this point, nothing will surprise me.
