Dem walks back support for MAGA voter suppression law and admits key claim 'just not true' [View all]

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) ruffled feathers in his own party last month when he became the only Democratic senator who appeared to back President Donald Trump's SAVE America Act, a bill that would impose draconian new restrictions on the right to vote.

In an interview with CBS's Major Garrett released on Wednesday, however, he appeared to walk back that approval.

While the bill has "some truths" in it, Fetterman said, “I don't support [it], in its current state.”

He also took a moment to slam Trump's ongoing conspiracy theories about voting by mail. “The president is constantly critical on mail-in voting. And that's ridiculous. It's safe,” said Fetterman. “I can't ever vote for that, because I could never agree, something that's just not true."
