Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania criticized his own party's approach to the ongoing government shutdown, warning that it sends the 'wrong message' to both Americans and the world. In a recent interview, Fetterman emphasized the need to end the shutdown and focus on resolving key issues, such as healthcare, rather than assigning blame. He reiterated his commitment to never supporting a shutdown and called for bipartisan negotiations to reopen the government. Fetterman was joined by a small number of other senators in supporting a Republican-backed funding bill, though the measure still lacks the votes needed to pass.
