Dem walks back support for MAGA voter suppression law and admits key claim 'just not true'

[RandySF]

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) ruffled feathers in his own party last month when he became the only Democratic senator who appeared to back President Donald Trump's SAVE America Act, a bill that would impose draconian new restrictions on the right to vote.

In an interview with CBS's Major Garrett released on Wednesday, however, he appeared to walk back that approval.

While the bill has "some truths" in it, Fetterman said, “I don't support [it], in its current state.”

He also took a moment to slam Trump's ongoing conspiracy theories about voting by mail. “The president is constantly critical on mail-in voting. And that's ridiculous. It's safe,” said Fetterman. “I can't ever vote for that, because I could never agree, something that's just not true."

1. Why do I suspect leadership had a word about his chances in 2028 and the level of support he

can expect following his recent bullshit...?

5. No, He sees how these things could hurt him in the election

if he decides to run again.

3. Maybe he just came to his senses because a staffer explained

the other parts of the bill to him..... ?

8. More likely

He sees how tRump is pushing this as a must and he figured he could soften his stance and get more money and power from the Repukes.

Sorry, but he has shown he is untrustworthy, everything he does needs to be looked at via the prism of what does J. Fetterman get out of this?
