Pennsylvania Democrats Denounce Fetterman as a Disgrace
Confirmed
In Short: Pennsylvania Democrats are denouncing Sen. John Fetterman, with one calling him a 'disgrace' and others considering ways to remove him from the Senate.
Rep. Brendan Boyle, D-Pa., denounced Sen. John Fetterman as a 'disgrace' on X, reflecting growing dissatisfaction among Pennsylvania Democrats.
Fetterman has faced criticism for his interactions with former President Donald Trump and his support for some of Trump's controversial cabinet picks.
Following a scathing report questioning his commitment to senatorial duties, some Democratic colleagues are exploring methods to oust him from the Senate.
Recent polling indicates a significant drop in support for Fetterman among Democrats, with 75% preferring 'someone else' over him.
In a recent development, a colleague called for Fetterman to resign.
