24. This is why I've been saying he needs to resign

He has problems with speaking, listening, and processing his thoughts in conversation.

He's not deaf but he needs to read subtitles when he's in conversations with people, just so he can process what is being said. That's how bad it is. He's not mentally ill but he was being treated for depression. (Maybe he still is?)

There's a very good chance that Chump is blackmailing Fetterman because his wife and her family came to the US as illegal immigrants, when Gisela was 7 years. She has since that time become a naturalized citizen and she has earned multiple master's degrees. I don't know whether the rest of her family are naturalized, but I hope they are. It would be terrible and immoral for Chump to threaten Fetterman's family, but who's going to stop him?

I'm saying this as a Pennsylvania voter and former supporter of Fetterman: The best thing for him to do is resign for medical reasons and allow Gov. Shapiro to appoint a replacement this year.

If Fetterman tries to run again in '28 he'll be primaried and almost surely lose. The Repukes don't want him, I know that for a fact. They're just happy that Fetterman is screwing the Democrats. Gov. Shapiro could probably find a nice easy job for him doing something for the State of Pennsylvania.
