Fetterman, amid dress code controversy, agrees to wear suit to 'save democracy,' avoid shutdown
Fox News
Sen. John Fetterman said in a social media post he would wear a suit on the Senate floor to "save democracy" if Republicans pass a government funding bill.
"If those jagoffs in the House stop trying to shut our government down, and fully support Ukraine, then I will save democracy by wearing a suit on the Senate floor next week," Fetterman said Wednesday in a post on X.

Fetterman is at the center of a controversy over standards and respect for the Senate as an institution, after Schumer stopped enforcing the Senate dress code to accommodate his refusal to wear a suit. The Pennsylvania Democrat is rarely ever seen in business attire, and is often seen in the Capitol wearing his trademark hoodie, or a loose-fitting shirt and gym shorts.
