Democratic Senator John Fetterman recently defended President Biden from criticism within his own party.
Fetterman suggested that Democrats questioning Biden’s electability or ability to serve are essentially helping Trump by sowing doubts among voters.
He also claimed that Biden will win Pennsylvania and be re-elected.
“The president is going to win here in Pennsylvania, and I’ve always believed that whoever wins Pennsylvania is going to be the next president,” Fetterman said. “This is going to be difficult, and we all have to lean in on that.”
“I don’t know what’s in it for you to do that — whether you’re just chasing clout, or you want to make it in the news, or anything like that,” he said.
“But if you’re not willing to just support the president now and say these kinds of things, you might as well just get your MAGA hat. Because you now are helping Trump with this,” he said.
Biden’s age and performance have seen increased criticism from some Democrats in recent months, with some like Tom Suozzi questioning whether Biden at 81 is too old for another term.
“I mean, the bottom line is he’s old!” Suozzi said.
“I mean, he’s 81 years old,” he added. “We all know people — I know 81-year-old people that are in good shape, and I know 81-year-olds that are not in great shape. He’s old, and there’s no question about it.”
Fetterman argued Democrats should privately support Biden instead of publicly undermining him.
