Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) said he will vote against two of President Trump’s most controversial Cabinet nominees: Tulsi Gabbard, his pick for director of national intelligence and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services.
“I have met with most of the cabinet nominees and have carefully watched their confirmation hearings,” Fetterman wrote in a Thursday statement on X.
“After considering what’s at stake, I have voted against moving forward to the confirmation of Ms. Gabbard and Mr. Kennedy, and will be voting NO on their confirmations.”
Both nominees recently advanced with recommendations from their respective committees in party-line votes.
The Pennsylvania senator has voted with GOP members to confirm Attorney General Pam Bondi, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Scott Turner.
He did not support White House Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought or Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
