His vote doesn't matter, Republicans will get him across the finish line without Fetterman, Collins, or Murkowski.

Exatly, he would have voted for if it was needed.

Without McConnell, I guess they're going into it with exactly 50 votes. Shame Dems are so incompetent at obstruction that they couldn't drag out the Lindsey replacement long enough for another Republican to fall down a flight of stairs.

She's officially sworn in as Senator. But they got it done incredibly quickly, especially when you consider Adelita Grijalva waited 50 days before Mike Johnson was forced to swear her into her House seat.

And what, exactly could they have done differently?

These people are so tiring. Didn't give dems power and complain they don't do anything all the while skipping over REPUBLICANS being responsible for all this.

No, his vote just isn't necessary to push through Blanche, so he gets to vote against it this time. This is just theater. It's a common Republican tactic, and as we're all unfortunately aware of now, Fetterman is a Republican in everything but name.

He's seeing the writing on the wall for his public image, and is buckling to popular opinion. Shithead Fetterman will resurface as soon as he's out of the spotlight.

Concerning Zionist Fetterman, Collins, and Murkowski, the old expression was this:
Getting a hall pass.
