John Fetterman Faces Calls to Resign—What Polls of Pennsylvania Voters Show
Former Representative Conor Lamb told Fetterman to "just quit" as the Democrat faces growing scrutiny from his own party.
Former Democratic Representative Conor Lamb urged Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman to resign following a report by The Wall Street Journal alleging Fetterman has shown "little interest" in his work. The report highlighted instances where Fetterman declined to meet constituents, attend local events, or make in-state appearances.
Lamb, who previously represented Western Pennsylvania in Congress, told Fetterman to "just quit" if he had any decency. Other Democrats, including Reps. Brendan Boyle and Chris Deluzio, also criticized Fetterman's performance. The report cited text messages between Fetterman and an aide, where he expressed reluctance to attend events related to vaccines and Medicaid cuts.
Fetterman has not publicly responded to the allegations. A recent Quinnipiac University poll found that while 12 percent of Democrats disapproved of Fetterman, 77 percent of Republicans approved. Among independents, 44 percent approved and 48 percent disapproved. Fetterman has stated he would not switch parties despite his more moderate positions.
