Fetterman defends supporting Republican spending bill, criticizes AOC

Senator John Fetterman criticized Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez after she accused Senate Democrats who supported a Republican spending bill of betrayal. Fetterman stated he does not care about her views and emphasized the need to avoid a government shutdown. The spending bill passed the Senate with a 62-38 vote, including support from 10 Democrats. Ocasio-Cortez expressed outrage over the defections, while some Democrats are reportedly frustrated with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's support for the bill. Fetterman has recently aligned more with Republican positions, including visiting Trump at Mar-a-Lago. He dismissed speculation about switching parties, calling it unprofessional.
