Fetterman criticizes fellow Democrats over shutdown: ‘I follow country, then party’

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) has criticized Democrats over the government shutdown, adding that discussions on health care subsidies can take place when the government is funded.

“I follow country, then party,” Fetterman said at the Kennedy Center on Wednesday night during NewsNation’s live town hall.

Fetterman said some of his constituents are angry with him over the shutdown and the state of the war between Israel and Hamas prior to the recent ceasefire.
