Arizona's Senators Vote Against Blocking $3B Of Arms Sales To Bahrain and Qatar
10:30a.m.: Arizona's Senators joined most Republicans today in blocking two resolutions to block $3B in announced arms sales to Bahrain and Qatar. The resolutions failed, 43-56 and 42-57, respectively.


Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) joined seven other Democrats in voting against the measures. The resolutions were proposed by Republican Senator Rand Paul (KY), and he was joined by a few GOP Senators in moving to block the Administration's arms sales amid concerns about Saudi Arabia and its allies, and the ongoing war in Yemen.

Neither Sinema nor Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ) has yet made any public comments on today's votes.
