一篇措辞严厉的报道对费特曼参议员履行参议员基本职责的意愿提出质疑后，他在宾夕法尼亚州的一些民主党同僚正设法将他赶出国会参议院。
《华尔街日报》的一篇爆炸性报道将费特曼描绘成一名更热衷于在福克斯新闻上讨论以色列问题，而非会见本州瘫痪退伍军人，且因嫌耗时太长而缺席被杀害警察葬礼的政客。
他所在的代表团成员对此怒不可遏。
共和党人：欢迎费特曼加入，共和党正谋求扩大参议院多数席位

“关于约翰·费特曼作为参议员的可悲表现，我有很多话要说，”宾夕法尼亚州联邦众议员克里斯·德卢齐奥（民主党）在X平台上说道。“但从他的懒惰、不尊重他人以及为外国政府背书的意愿中，我们看到了早已心知肚明的事实：此人毫无责任感。”
“他不配担任当选的高级公职——我们宾夕法尼亚州将在2028年采取行动，”他补充道。
据幕后消息，《华尔街日报》的报道通过泄露的费特曼与助手之间的短信内容显示，这名议员不愿履行部分核心工作职责，例如与选民会面。
“约翰·费特曼真是个耻辱，”宾夕法尼亚州联邦众议员布伦丹·博伊尔（民主党）在X平台上说道。“本州理应得到更好的治理，而不是一个连本职工作都不愿做的懒惰富二代。”
其中一个事例是，一名助手告知费特曼，费城儿童医院（CHOP）的代表希望与他会面，讨论对医疗补助计划削减开支的担忧。费特曼反问为何他必须持续与费城儿童医院会面，助手指出他们担忧“疫苗接种与医疗补助计划削减”问题。
费特曼回应道：“好吧，我才不会去。我确信他们只是想免费来华盛顿旅游。”
另一个事例是，一名助手告知费特曼，去年在宾夕法尼亚州遇害的三名警察的葬礼有着装要求，预计仪式将持续三小时。
费特曼回复道：“这恐怕行不通。”

在参议院任职前多年，费特曼作为进步派政客崭露头角，似乎效仿了佛蒙特州联邦参议员伯尼·桑德斯（无党派）的竞选模式，并曾在桑德斯的总统竞选早期阶段予以支持。
2022年，费特曼击败穆罕默德·奥兹医生（现为美国医疗保险与医疗补助服务中心主任）赢得参议院席位，其竞选纲领涵盖全民医保、支持劳工政策以及对美国富人加税——这些都是进步派政治的核心标志性主张。
然而，自进入参议院以来，他的投票记录展现出更为温和的倾向，外界纷纷质疑他是否会倒戈加入共和党。就职以来，他也曾多次与本党立场相悖。

在去年的政府停摆辩论中，当民主党人团结一致推动延长即将到期的奥巴马医改税收抵免时，费特曼却站在了共和党一边；他已成为以色列最直言不讳的支持者之一，还协助确认了唐纳德·特朗普总统的部分提名，包括国土安全部部长马克韦恩·马林斯——值得注意的是，他曾投票反对昔日的政治对手奥兹。
要求罢免费特曼的呼声不仅来自宾夕法尼亚州国会代表团的同僚。
作为民主党全国委员会副主席的宾夕法尼亚州州众议员马尔科姆·肯亚塔，也将目标对准了费特曼。

“这份报道令人震惊，但对我们许多宾夕法尼亚州人来说并非新鲜事。费特曼担任副州长时就几乎不出席工作，如今作为参议员也经常失踪，”肯亚塔在X平台上说道。
“当他不在福克斯新闻上为特朗普和无休止的战争摇旗呐喊时，他就在攻击那些曾给他机会的选民，”他补充道。“2028年越快到来越好。”
费特曼未回应置评请求。

Fetterman faces Dem revolt as bombshell report fuels push to oust him: ‘Disgrace’
2026-09-04 1:11pm EDT / Fox News
Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman told NBC News that he has repeatedly made clear he has no intentions of joining the Republican Party despite Democratic backlash.

After a scathing report that called into question Sen. John Fetterman’s willingness to do the basic duties of a senator, some of his Democratic colleagues in Pennsylvania are eyeing ways to dislodge him from the upper chamber.
An explosive report from The Wall Street Journal painted Fetterman as a politician more interested in appearing on Fox News to discuss Israel than meeting with paralyzed veterans from his state, and blowing off a funeral for slain police officers because it would have taken too long.
And members of his own delegation are furious.
REPUBLICANS SAY THEY’D WELCOME FETTERMAN AS GOP EYES BIGGER SENATE MAJORITY

“There is a lot I could say about this report of John Fetterman’s pathetic behavior as a senator,” Rep. Chris Deluzio, D-Pa., said on X. “But between the laziness, disrespect, and willingness to carry water for a foreign government, it shows us something we already know: this man has no sense of duty.”
“He is not up for the high office he was elected to — and we in Pennsylvania will do something about it in 2028,” he continued.
Behind the scenes, The Wall Street Journal’s report revealed through leaked text messages between Fetterman and his aides that the lawmaker was unwilling to do some of the core functions of the job, like meeting with constituents.
“John Fetterman is a disgrace,” Rep. Brendan Boyle, D-Pa., said on X. “Our state deserves better than a lazy trust fund baby who is too lazy to do the job.”
In one instance, Fetterman was told by an aide that representatives of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) wanted to meet over concerns about Medicaid cuts. Fetterman asked why he had to keep meeting with CHOP, and the aide noted that they were worried about “vaccines and Medicaid cuts.”

“Well, I’m not,” Fetterman responded. “I’m convinced they just want free trips to D.C.”
Another instance came when an aide told Fetterman that there would be a dress code at a funeral for three police officers killed in Pennsylvania last year, and that the service was expected to last for three hours.
“This may be a nonstarter,” Fetterman wrote.
Years before his time in the Senate, Fetterman rose to prominence as a progressive who appeared to emulate the formula laid out by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who he backed early on in his runs for the White House.
When Fetterman won his seat in 2022 against Dr. Mehmet Oz, who now runs the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Fetterman ran on a platform of universal healthcare, pro-labor policies and higher tax rates on wealthy Americans — key hallmarks of progressive politics.
Since ascending to the Senate, however, his voting record has shown a more moderate flair, and questions are swirling over whether he will jump ship and join the GOP. He’s bucked his party on several occasions since taking office, too.
DNC VICE CHAIR ATTACKS DEMOCRATIC SEN. JOHN FETTERMAN: ‘YOU’RE A MESS’

During the government shutdown fight last year, he joined Republicans as Democrats stayed unified in their push to renew lapsing Obamacare tax credits, has become one of the most vocal proponents of Israel, and helped to confirm some of President Donald Trump’s nominees, including Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin — notably, he voted against his old political rival Oz.
The desire to boot Fetterman extends beyond just his colleagues in the Pennsylvania congressional delegation.
Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta, who is the vice chair of the Democratic National Committee, has his sights set on Fetterman, too.

“This report is horrifying, but not new to many of us in PA. John barely showed up as Lieutenant Governor and is constantly MIA as our senator,” Kenyatta said on X.
“When he’s not on FOX cheerleading Trump & endless wars, he is attacking the very neighbors who gave him a chance,” he continued. “2028 can’t come soon enough.”
Fetterman did not respond to a request for comment.
