John Fetterman reveals how he’ll vote on Trump’s Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. nominations
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., has made headlines with his decision to vote against confirming Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard for positions in President Donald Trump’s cabinet. Fetterman, known for his unconventional style of wearing shorts and hoodies, declared his opposition to moving forward with the confirmations of Kennedy and Gabbard, citing the importance of the decisions at hand.
Kennedy, who previously ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2023 before switching to an independent bid and ultimately endorsing Trump in 2024, was tapped by Trump to serve as the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman who ran for president in 2019 and later endorsed Joe Biden before joining the GOP in 2024, was nominated to serve as Director of National Intelligence.
In a surprising turn of events, Kennedy’s former running mate, Nicole Shanahan, took to social media to criticize Fetterman, calling him a “lazy slob” and questioning his ability to make important decisions given his casual attire. Shanahan’s scathing remarks have sparked a heated debate among political circles.
Despite Fetterman’s opposition to Kennedy and Gabbard, he has shown support for some of Trump’s nominees. However, he recently joined the Senate Democratic Caucus in voting against the confirmation of Russell Vought as Office of Management and Budget director. Vought, who previously served in the same role during the first Trump administration, was confirmed in a 53-47 vote despite Democratic opposition.
Fetterman remains steadfast in his decision-making process, emphasizing the importance of upholding his principles and standing by his convictions. As the political landscape continues to evolve, Fetterman’s stance on key appointments reflects his commitment to serving the best interests of the American people.
