Two more aides left John Fettermanās office in recent weeks, the latest in a stream of staff exits amid the Pennsylvania senatorās shifting political persona and questions about his health.
Fetterman aides Madeleine Marr and Caroline Shaffer parted ways with his team, according to two people familiar with their departures and granted anonymity to speak freely. They left shortly before New York Magazine reported thatĀ current and former Fetterman staff are increasingly concerned about the Democratic senatorās mental and physical health, one of the people said.
Staff inside Fettermanās office had been bracing for the magazineās story in the days before it was published. Fetterman has denied that he is not fit to serve,Ā calling the reportĀ āa one-source hit piece.ā
One of the things I enjoy is that while his office is burning around him, John continues to send out the same, boring, campaign pledge emails like nothing is going on.
I tried to get removed from the list a few times (I never gave him a dollar) with no luck.
But now Iām enjoying the completely out of touch email blasts from him and his team. Just the same playbook, plodding along, not even acknowledging that people are concerned about his mental health.
āHey friend, itās John. What if I told you ā¦ now give me $5.ā
