Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman candidly vented that he would rather go home and lie on the beach with his family than deal with grueling marathon Senate work to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Senators need their vacation time, too.
Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman vented Monday that he would rather put his toes in the sand than deal with a series of votes ahead of the expected passage of President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
“Oh my God, I just want to go home. I’ve already, my — I’ve missed our entire trip to the beach,” the hulking Fetterman groused to reporters.
“I’m going to vote no. There’s no drama that — we know [how] the votes are going to go,” he added. “And I think, I don’t think it’s really helpful to put people here till some ungodly hour.”
The Senate was supposed to break on Friday for the Independence Day holiday and return July 7. But Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) opted to keep senators back until voting on the megabill could be completed.
