Two more aides left John Fetterman’s office in recent weeks, the latest in a stream of staff exits amid the Pennsylvania senator’s 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 that current and former Fetterman staff are increasingly concerned about the Democratic senator’s mental and physical health, one of the people said.
Staff inside Fetterman’s office had been bracing for the magazine’s story in the days before it was published. Fetterman has denied that he is not fit to serve, calling the report “a one-source hit piece.”
Republicans won’t 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.
