Two more aides left John Fettermanās office in recent weeks, the latest in a stream of staff exits amid the Pennsylvania senatorās shifting political persona and questions about his health.
Fetterman aides Madeleine Marr and Caroline Shaffer parted ways with his team, according to two people familiar with their departures and granted anonymity to speak freely. They left shortly before New York Magazine reported thatĀ current and former Fetterman staff are increasingly concerned about the Democratic senatorās mental and physical health, one of the people said.
Staff inside Fettermanās office had been bracing for the magazineās story in the days before it was published. Fetterman has denied that he is not fit to serve,Ā calling the reportĀ āa one-source hit piece.ā
he will be primaried anyways, so it doesnt matter, he has to become independant, and republicans wont vote for someone like him, unless hes a magat to begin with.
Republicans wonāt vote for him, but if he runs as an independent, he could draw off enough low-info democratic voters that the republicans could with the general.
it likely end up drawing alot of Rs more, its a double edeged sword. some dems are low info but Rs are prone to misinformation more. the young voters tend to be drawn to those types of independants.
remember the shills jill stein and RFK JR, they were mostly republicans.
republicans did vote for him. twice, state wide.
