Interesting OP on how the Fetterman health uncertainty will impact the dem party and the 2024 election in PA.
Robert Singh, a professor of politics at Birkbeck, University of London, told Newsweek that “the claim that there is no contingency plan for Fetterman is deeply implausible.”
"If true, it suggests a state Democratic Party that is either politically negligent or suffering internal problems of its own,"Singh said.
“One would imagine that, even in the 2022 midterms, a candidate who had suffered a stroke would prompt his party to consider possible replacements. Given Fetterman’s current self-admission for mental health treatment, and his absence from the Senate, it seems quite bizarre that the party would not have reached out to potential replacements,” he said.
Singh added that since Pennsylvania “will be a key state in the 2024 presidential election—in which Governor Shapiro himself has been mentioned as a potential, if long-shot, Democratic nominee—and with, potentially, two Democratic U.S. Senators running if Fetterman does resign, nominating a serious, qualified, and credible successor would seem imperative to the party’s prospects.”
“The governor’s claim surely awaits the test of public opinion in his state,” he said.
Looks like the trend in the dems is to have a near brainless leader elected, so the staff can run things. Apparently, having a leader that can think really messes up the staffs plans, lol!
Non responsive is not a conscious state. Outside of being funny by trying to claim that fetterman isn’t acting as if he is in a conscious state, it’s not a point of any kind
