35. As a PA voter I supported Fetterman and voted for him

I've also donated to his campaigns over the years.

I'm upset and disappointed in the changes in him since his strokes, and I believe he has multiple medical issues. John Fetterman should resign before the next election, hopefully by the first of the year at the latest. Whoever will be appointed and whoever decides to run in his place should be given sufficient time. The 2026 election is only 13 months away.
