John Fetterman's support for Joe Biden's reelection amid controversy
John Fetterman has been a vocal supporter of Joe Biden, even calling on fellow Democrats to "chill the f**k out" after the president's shaky performance in the recent presidential debate, The Hill noted.
He has also distanced himself from the progressive wing of the Democratic party, primarily with his staunch support for Israel.
Fetterman later said abandoning Biden was the “dumbest s**t I’ve ever heard."
“I refuse to join the Democratic vultures on Biden’s shoulder after the debate. No one knows more than me that a rough debate is not the sum total of the person and their record,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Following his own debate struggles in 2022 against celebrity doctor and Republican opponent for the senate seat, Mehmet Oz, Fetterman said he was counted out of the race.
During that debate, Fetterman struggled to put together coherent sentences after suffering from a stroke.
In May, he criticized progressives who threatened to abstain from the general election, saying they would “own that tragedy” of a second Trump term, according to USA Today.
