Summary
Pennsylvania Democrats are protesting Sen. John Fetterman’s growing alignment with Trump, citing his visit to Mar-a-Lago and votes for Trump nominees.
Critics, including Rep. Summer Lee and local leaders, accuse him of abandoning progressive values and failing to oppose Trump’s policies.
Some see his shift as a strategic move in a GOP-leaning state, but others compare him to former Arizona Senator Krysten Sinema’s alienation from her base.
Discontent among Democratic activists raises questions about a potential 2028 primary challenge.
some states have recall elections
IMO every state, city, municipality, township, HOA etc should be required to have recall elections.
If a supermajority of people feel they are no longer represented by the current representative, then that should be enough to recall them. 3/4 of electorate signs a petition which gets verified, immediate recall election. Why should we always have to wait for the NEXT election.
It should also be automatic if a person changes party affiliation
Absolutely along with having to be reassigned committee roles
Good luck getting 3/4 of any group of people to agree on anything. Even 2/3 would be a hard target to hit.
Thats a good thing though. It would keep it from being abused by a minority who are just grump maga bitch types. You would need a REAL consensus to recall someone should it be needed.
Right, it would prevent abuse, but it probably would prevent legitimate action as well since even the world’s biggest asshole can get at least 25% of people to side with him.
Hear hear
Pelosi should be recalled.
