Fetterman Breaks With Democrats, Votes to Put 'America First' Amid Record Government Shutdown

Democratic Senator John Fetterman broke with his party in a shutdown vote, saying it's an 'easy choice' to put America first in the midst of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, as Democrats and Republicans remain deadlocked over healthcare funding. The decision marks one of few instances where a Democrat has sided with Republicans in the standoff. Fetterman's move is seen as a departure from his typical party line on key issues. The shutdown continues to linger despite efforts by lawmakers to find common ground.
