Boyle Slams Fetterman as “Trump’s Favorite Democrat” Over Shutdown Vote
Amidst the looming government shutdown, Senator John Fetterman’s plan to support the Republican budget bill has sparked criticism from fellow Democrats, particularly Representative Brendan Boyle, who accused Fetterman of siding with Donald Trump. While most Democrats aim to leverage the situation to protect healthcare provisions, Fetterman’s stance against shutdowns leads him to vote for the GOP plan. This has created tension within the party as Democrats hope to extend expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies, with the looming shutdown posing potential healthcare cost increases for Pennsylvanians. The disagreement reflects a broader divide on how to handle the budget impasse, with other Democrats expressing concern over healthcare cuts.
