Summary
In a guest editorial published by PennLive, Cumberland County Democratic Party chair Matt Roan called for Senator John Fetterman’s resignation.
He accused Fetterman of abandoning Democratic values and aligning with Republicans and Trump.
Roan criticized Fetterman’s votes to confirm Trump ally Pam Bondi as attorney general and support a GOP-backed funding bill, as well as his pro-Israel stance and backing of immigration restrictions.
Speculation about Fetterman switching parties intensified after his meeting with Trump, but he denied plans to become a Republican, insisting he remains committed to Democratic priorities.
We need a recall mechanism in PA for this bullshit.
We should elect parties, not people. I’m sure it would cause other issues, but it would also solve the issue of being unsatisfied with the senator. Recall him right now and we have to have another election. I don’t trust PA to make the right decision.
Yeah but if you let parties run everything you end up with things like the DNC running Hilary instead of Bernie. And so called super delegates. So I’m not convinced that’s a good solution either.
Or, you know, single party states as the party no longer needs to run individuals and has zero interest in sharing power.
