US EditionSenate Democrats, worried about Fetterman, discussing ways to help
- Senator John Fetterman, a Pennsylvania Democrat, has faced intense criticism and questions about his engagement and mental health in 2024 amid debates over his staunch support for Israel.
- The scrutiny followed articles in New York Magazine and Politico portraying Fetterman as moody and irrational, with some Democrats blaming his Israel stance and others citing health concerns after his 2022 stroke.
- Former staffers have described his schedule as sparse and noted absenteeism, including missing 29 of 236 votes since January, while his pro-Israel position has prompted staff departures and calls from some Democrats for his resignation.
- Republican senators McCormick, Cotton, and Grassley defended Fetterman, calling attacks on him unjust, with McCormick stating, “I know a hit piece when I see one,” while Senate Minority Leader Schumer affirmed Fetterman is doing a good job.
- The situation suggests ongoing challenges for Fetterman’s political future, as supporters watch closely and critics remain focused on his health and voting attendance, amid potential primary challenges within his party.
