Fetterman Breaks Ranks: Dems ‘Need To Own The Shutdown’

Senator Fetterman has voted 11 times with Republicans to fund the government and urges ongoing bipartisan talks to end the shutdown.

  • Several weeks into the government shutdown, Fetterman told Fox News he won't stop engaging with Republicans despite Democratic concerns.
  • By crossing party lines to back Republican spending measures, Fetterman is the only Senate Democrat funding the entire government and supporting bills to pay federal employees during the shutdown.
  • About a week before his memoir Unfettered publishes on Nov. 11, John Fetterman said `It's not about bending a knee` and stressed he's not advising his party, citing leadership in Pennsylvania's purple region.
  • Fetterman's conciliatory remarks drew sharp criticism from within his own party, with Conor Lamb saying he has `just no core principles` and Brendan Boyle calling him `Trump's favorite Democrat`.
  • Fetterman argued against turning away from political opponents and cited a positive meeting with President Donald Trump, while critics said engaging with the president was `entirely inappropriate,` signaling division.
