From a Mormon living in a gas station to the senator with Biden's $3.5T budget in her hands: How Krysten Sinema came out as bisexual and went from being 'too liberal to be a Democrat' to the moderate holding ALL the cards

Democratic anger is growing with Krysten Sinema, blaming her as the sole reason for holding up
Joe Biden's $3.5 trillion social agenda as the party demands to know what the
Arizona Democratic senator wants in exchange for her support.
'The president keeps begging her, tell us what you want. Put a proposal forward,' progressive Rep. Ro Khanna told
CNN, adding that neither moderates nor liberals can name her demands.
All eyes are turning to the 45-year-old senator, known for wearing candy-colored wigs during the COVID pandemic because she couldn't get her hair dyed, competing in Ironmans and touting her personal story – growing up in a gas station with conservative Mormon parents before earning her PhD and become the first openly bisexual woman to be elected to the Senate.
She rarely attends the weekly Senate Democratic luncheon, was the only Democrat to skip Vice President Kamala Harris' dinner for female senators, and invites Republicans to go for a run with her around the Capitol.
Biden is courting Sinema heavily, hosting her for three meetings at the White House on Tuesday and sending his legislative team to a meeting in her Capitol Hill office on Wednesday.
'She's smart as hell and she has a plan,' Adam Kinsey, a Democratic political consultant in Arizona, told DailyMail.com.
