Fetterman’s Senate office has experienced another wave of staff departures, with aides Madeleine Marr and Caroline Shaffer leaving in recent weeks. This follows a pattern of exits over the past 18 months, raising questions about the senator’s political trajectory and health. The departures coincide with growing concerns among former staff about Fetterman’s mental and physical well-being, as well as his political stances, including his strong support for Israel and recent meeting with Donald Trump. Fetterman has denounced these claims as a one-source hit piece, asserting his fitness to serve. The senator’s defenders, particularly from conservative circles, argue that he is being unfairly targeted by progressive critics for occasionally bucking Democratic Party orthodoxy. Recent concerns have been amplified by reports suggesting some former staff were unsettled by Fetterman’s political shifts and his alignment with right-leaning positions.
