Sen. John Fetterman’s latest high-profile vote backing Donald Trump angered Democrats, who lambasted him as “shameful” and a “traitor.”

On Wednesday, Fetterman again voted to block another war powers resolution to constrain Trump’s authority to wage war on Iran without congressional approval.

It was the seventh time Democrats have attempted to rein in Trump’s power.

This time, however, Fetterman was the deciding vote after three Republican senators — Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins and Rand Paul — supported it.

      Please Democratic leadership wanted him to vote this way. If they wanted they could hold his feet in the fire and vote party line. Also keep him from commite seats etc. Since none that happens its because he doing what they want him to do.
