宾夕法尼亚州民主党州长乔希·夏皮罗对特立独行的民主党参议员约翰·费特曼持批评态度，敦促他“回归当选时的本职”，以民主党人的身份履职。
作为外界传闻的2028年民主党总统候选人之一，夏皮罗本周在接受美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）采访时，针对费特曼面临退党压力的报道显得颇为恼火。
“听着，我不知道费特曼参议员打算做什么，”他告诉CNN主持人杰克·塔珀，“我知道宾夕法尼亚州选民投票选出了一名民主党人来代表他们在参议院履职。”
“所以我认为他应当信守承诺，继续为宾夕法尼亚州服务，希望能回归他当选时的初衷，反映选民的意志，”他补充道。
针对费特曼的矛头已出鞘：这位特立独行的参议员加入了因脱离左翼而遭惩罚的民主党人行列
费特曼与夏皮罗的关系自费特曼当选以来已日趋冷淡。这位参议员在去年11月出版的新书《不受束缚》中写道，他与夏皮罗“不再交谈”。他写道，两人的关系恶化到了“丑陋不堪”的地步，“此后再也没有恢复过”。
费特曼因支持特朗普的部分议程引发了巨大争议。值得注意的是，他是仅有的六位代表2024年总统选举中特朗普获胜州的民主党参议员之一。
他是唯一一位投票支持推进特朗普提名的国土安全部部长人选、前参议员马克韦恩·马林的民主党议员。在去年旷日持久的政府停摆争端中，费特曼与共和党人投票支持重新开放政府，并解释称自己的投票是为了“国家高于政党”。
根据国会投票追踪网站的数据，2025年他有26%左右的投票与共和党人一致。
这让民主党内部许多人感到不满，夏皮罗也在此列。在最近接受山姆·弗拉戈索的“轻松谈话”播客采访时，夏皮罗表示“我和约翰并无过节”，但同时称“约翰有很多问题，我认为他需要向宾夕法尼亚州民众做出解释”。
“我认为有很多人想知道到底发生了什么，他为什么要做出那些选择，”他继续说道。
今年2月，夏皮罗拒绝透露如果费特曼寻求2028年连任，他是否会支持对方，他表示：“我不知道他是否会寻求连任。我认为他需要先决定是否参选，之后我们才能做出相应决定。”
费特曼与民主党就政府停摆问题决裂，誓言“将国家置于政党之上”
夏皮罗并非近几个月来唯一一位批评费特曼的民主党高层。民主党全国委员会副主席马尔科姆·肯亚塔在4月抨击费特曼，称这位参议员“一团糟”。
“如今我的联邦参议员几乎每天都在这个平台上攻击他的选民，以及许多为当选他付出大量努力的人。称他们因反对本届政府而‘患上了精神错乱综合征’。你就是一团糟，@约翰·费特曼，”肯亚塔在X平台的帖子中写道。
众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯也就费特曼对伊朗局势的回应对其提出批评，并于4月在CNN节目中表示，他“本应更懂分寸”。
此番批评曝出之际，政客新闻网（Politico）周一报道称，一些共和党人正试图劝说费特曼改换党派身份。

不过，费特曼在接受该媒体采访时表示：“我是民主党人，我会一直做民主党人。”

Pennsylvania Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro has taken a critical tone toward maverick Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., urging him to “get back to what he was elected to do” as a Democrat.
While speaking on CNN this week, Shapiro, another rumored 2028 Democratic presidential candidate, appeared exasperated about Fetterman amid reports that he is receiving pressure to jump ship on the party.
“Look, I don’t know what Sen. Fetterman is going to do,” he told CNN’s Jake Tapper. “I know that Pennsylvanians voted for a Democrat to represent them in the United States Senate.”
“So, I think he needs to honor that and continue with his service to Pennsylvania, and, hopefully, get back to what he was elected to do and reflect the will of the people,” he added.
KNIVES OUT FOR FETTERMAN: MAVERICK SENATOR JOINS LONG LINE OF DEMS PUNISHED FOR BREAKING FROM LEFT

Fetterman’s relationship with Shapiro has cooled since his election. The senator wrote in his book, “Unfettered,” released last November, that he and Shapiro “no longer speak” with one another. He wrote that the relationship deteriorated into an “ugliness” from which “we have never recovered.”
Fetterman has stirred up significant controversy by backing portions of Trump’s agenda. Notably, Fetterman is one of just six Democratic senators who represent states that President Donald Trump won in the 2024 election.
He was the lone Democrat to vote in favor of advancing Trump’s new pick to lead the Department of Homeland Security, former Sen. Markwayne Mullin. During the prolonged government shutdown fight last year, Fetterman voted with Republicans to reopen the government, explaining his vote was choosing “country over party.”
In 2025, he voted with Republicans about 26 percent of the time, according to Congress Vote Tracker.
This has left many in the Democratic Party frustrated, including Shapiro. On a recent episode of the “Talk Easy” podcast with Sam Fragoso, Shapiro asserted, “I’ve got no beef with John” but said, “John’s got a lot of questions that I think he needs to answer for the people of Pennsylvania.”
“I think there’s a lot of people who want to know kind of what happened, why he does some of the things he does,” he continued.
In February, Shapiro declined to say whether he will support Fetterman if he seeks re-election in 2028, saying, “I don’t know if he’s running for re-election. I think he needs to decide if he’s running, and then we’ll make a decision from there.”

Shapiro is not the only major Democratic leader who has criticized Fetterman in recent months. Democratic National Committee Vice Chair Malcolm Kenyatta slammed Fetterman in April, labeling the senator “a mess.”
“Almost every day now my US Senator comes on this site to attack his constituents and many people who worked hard to elect him. Suggesting that they have ‘derangement syndrome’ for opposing this administration. You’re a mess @JohnFetterman,” Kenyatta wrote in an X post.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has also called out Fetterman over his response to the war in Iran and said on CNN in April that he “knows better.”
This comes asPolitico reported Monday that some Republicans were trying to persuade Fetterman to change his party affiliation.

However, Fetterman told the outlet in an interview, “I’m a Democrat, and I’m staying one.”
