John Fetterman didn’t join a resolution to oppose Trump’s clemencies. “It shouldn’t be too much to ask for senators to oppose unconditional pardons for people found guilty of assaulting Capitol Police officers,” Murray said in a statement. In total, 44 Senate Democrats and the two independents who caucus with Democrats joined the resolution. Pennsylvania’s John Fetterman appears to be the odd man out.

The Independent has requested comment from Fetterman’s office. Trump also ordered the dismissal of hundreds of pending cases. “Some people are very deserving of a second chance and get a pardon,” he added. “And there’s some that I don’t … agree with. I don’t agree with them. … What I’m saying, though, that, that, pardons I can agree with, some that I don’t. And I think that’s really what it comes down to.”.
