John Fetterman Says Upcoming Dem Senate Vote Could Show 'Why We Lost' Election
HuffPost
The Pennsylvania senator shaded his own party in a Fox News interview.
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) told Fox News Tuesday that if Senate Democrats can’t muster enough votes to help pass the Laken Riley Act, it would illustrate why Democrats lost the 2024 election. (Watch the video below.)
The House just passed the reintroduced bill that would mandate detaining migrants arrested for theft. Aided by dozens of Democrat votes, the measure moved forward just days before President-elect Donald Trump returns to office amid a pledge to severely crack down on illegal immigration. The bill now heads to the Senate, where it may reportedly require seven votes by Democrats to pass.
Riley was killed by a Venezuelan migrant who was previously charged with shoplifting, prompting the bill’s name.
Democrats such as Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) have criticized the legislation because being “merely accused” ― and not convicted ― would initiate the detainment in a move to further demonize migrants, he said. (Studies have also debunked the assertion that migrants have caused a surge in crime.)
When Fox News’ Bret Baier played Raskin’s response, Fetterman pushed back.
