HARRISBURG (TNS) — Pennsylvania’s senior senator is dismissing fears that the U.S. is experiencing a constitutional crisis.

Sen. John Fetterman told HuffPost that his fellow Democrats in Congress and others should have faith in the democratic system and ease off the hyperbolic rhetoric about President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s efforts to slash or eliminate federal agencies.

“There isn’t a constitutional crisis, and all of these things ― it’s just a lot of noise,” Fetterman told HuffPost. “That’s why I’m only gonna swing on the strikes.”

He pointed to the federal courts which have issued injunctions to halt a number of Trump and Musk’s orders.

“When it was [President] Joe Biden, then you [had] a conservative judge jam it up on him, and now we have liberal judges that are going to stop these things. That’s how the process works,” Fetterman said Wednesday.

Vice President JD Vance claimed the courts lacked authority to block the president’s policies and called for judges to be impeached.

Fetterman called Musk’s move to close agencies and furlough federal workers without congressional approval “provocative,” adding they are “certainly a concern.”

Fetterman has been accused of shifting rightward with his hard pro-Israel stance after the massacre of 1,180 Israeli citizens by Hamas in October 2023 and subsequent invasion of Gaza that has claimed close to 50,000 Arab lives.

Since the election, Fetterman has softened his tone on Trump, flying to Mar-a-Lago to meet with Trump before he took office and supporting some of his less-controversial cabinet picks.

“I’m still wishing him the best. I’m effectively rooting for him and all the nominees because they’re working for America,” Fetterman said.
