Fetterman's offer comes amid a barrage of criticism from Republicans for a change in the Senate's dress code to apparently allow him to avoid wearing dress clothes.
U.S. Sen. John Fetterman, shown here at his election night party in Pittsburgh in November 2022, extended a tongue-in-cheek offer to U.S. House Republicans as bickering within the GOP threatens to lead to a federal government shutdown. As chaos within the Republican ranks of the GOP-controlled U.S. House pushes the federal government closer to a shutdown, Democratic Sen. John Fetterman has offered the opposition a sartorial olive branch.
On Wednesday, Fetterman, who has been the target of Republican attacks over his insistence on wearing shorts and hoodies in Congress rather than suits, made a unique proposal. “If those jagoffs in the House stop trying to shut our government down, and fully support Ukraine, then I will save democracy by wearing a suit on the Senate floor next week,” Fetterman said in a statement.If those jagoffs in the House stop trying to shut our government down, and fully support Ukraine, then I will save democracy by wearing a suit on the Senate floor next week.
