PHILADELPHIA — Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro expressed confidence this week in Sen. John Fetterman’s return to the U.S. Senate and said he wouldn’t entertain outside pressures for him to resign after his second hospitalization this month.
“He’s going to get the help that he needs … and do a great job for the people of Pennsylvania as their senator for a long time,” Shapiro said Tuesday in an interview with The Inquirer, as Fetterman receives inpatient treatment for clinical depression.
So far, Shapiro said he has not received any pressure from establishment Democrats to ask Fetterman to resign. “And if I did, I would dismiss it immediately,” Shapiro added.
