Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., advises Democrats not to panic over every action or statement made by President-elect Trump. He emphasized the importance of not having constant meltdowns over tweets or appointments, as there are still four years ahead. Fetterman highlighted the Republican party’s control over the White House, House of Representatives, Senate, and Supreme Court with a conservative slant, urging everyone to focus on the bigger picture for the next two years.
During a recent interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Fetterman expressed his anticipation of voting for some of Trump’s picks, such as Sen. Marco Rubio for secretary of state and Rep. Elise Stefanik for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. However, he also criticized other selections like former-Rep. Matt Gaetz, who faced a tough confirmation process due to previous DOJ investigation into sex trafficking allegations. Gaetz’s resignation from Congress may lead to the House Ethics Committee report not being released publicly.
Fetterman’s message to not overreact to every move by Trump resonates with the need to stay focused on the larger political landscape and upcoming challenges. It is essential for Democrats to strategize and prioritize their concerns rather than getting caught up in the smaller details. By maintaining a clear perspective and unity within the party, they can effectively navigate the next four years under the new administration.
