Fetterman Says Democrats Were DEAD Wrong

For years, Democrats treated the filibuster like a political villain.

Party leaders insisted it was an outdated Senate rule standing in the way of their agenda. Activists demanded its destruction. Progressive lawmakers argued it had to go if Democrats wanted to transform the country.

Now one of the party’s most recognizable senators is admitting they got it wrong.

And his comments are creating a problem for Democrats that won’t be easy to explain away.
