Republican Senator Dave McCormick publicly defended Democratic Senator John Fetterman, calling recent reports questioning Fetterman's health and behavior "vicious, personal attacks" and urging critics to put politics aside.
Senator Fetterman has come under fire following two reports. The first being a New York Magazine article quoting unnamed current and former staffers who claimed he has been acting erratically, and another being an Associated Press story describing a meeting with a teachers union that allegedly ended with Fetterman shouting, repeating himself, and slamming his hands on a desk.
