93. What does that have to do with is voting record?

Sun Sep 14, 2025, 07:43 PM

Sep 14

He's in positive territory with his approval rating among Democrats. The fact that he's even slightly better with Republicans implies that he should sail to reelection if he runs again in 2028. So he says some stupid things like this which I find easy to ignore. That doesn't change his voting record which is certifiably very progressive. Unlike Manchin and Sinema, he has never cast a deciding vote for a Republican bill or nominee and has never single handedly blocked progressive legislation from passing. Maybe you would rather have another Republican Senator from PA who votes with Democrats 5% of the time or less. Me, I'll take the guy who has a very strong voting record despite saying some frustrating and stupid things occasionally.
