Fetterman needs to be seen as a middle of the road Democrat in Pennsylvania now. He is trying to protect two very popular and necessary programs, from elimination or severe cuts by the Republicans governing via the ridiculous Project 2025 dictates.

Look, the reality is that of all these horrible nominees--Gaetz, Gabbard, Kennedy, Heseth and Oz, the Wizard (Oz) at least has some credentials the others do not. As much as we dislike all of them, some of these incompetents are going to get through the Senate and win nomination.

Perhaps Oz can beat some sense into Kennedy not to be eliminating these programs.
