Fetterman’s voting record vs other Democrats

Despite the media narrative that he’s some kind of party rebel, John Fetterman still votes with Democrats about 90–91% of the time on votes where the parties are split.

For context:

Most Democratic senators: vote with the party about 95–98% of the time

Moderate Democrats: usually around 88–94%

Fetterman: roughly 90–91%

So he breaks with Democrats a little more often than the average senator, but he’s nowhere near the level of past outliers like Joe Manchin or Kyrsten Sinema, who often voted with Democrats closer to the 80–87% range.

He’s basically a moderate Democrat who still votes with the party about nine out of ten times.
