Summary

Two senior staffers, Charlie Hills and Tré Easton, are leaving Sen. John Fetterman’s office amid his shift toward a more Trump-friendly stance.

Their departures follow other high-profile resignations, including his chief of staff last year.

Fetterman has evolved from a Bernie Sanders supporter to a vocal pro-Israel Democrat and critic of his party’s anti-Trump approach.

He has backed some Trump policies and nominees but opposed others. Despite this shift, he remains a reliable Democratic vote.

        It sounds like he has come out the other side of his stroke recovery changed. It’s like the parts of his brain that made him a better representative died with the stroke.

        This isn’t mentioned often enough. He only looked good next to Oz. He was always a shitty person who behaved shittily. The people that actually dealt with him in their local government know. He’s always been a bit of a dumb ass and a bully. Just one slightly more relatable to the average person than that loon Oz.
