Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), master of low expectations, has decided that his own disastrous debate performance in 2022 is suddenly the yardstick for President Joe Biden’s chances in 2024. Remember, Fetterman, fresh off a stroke, somehow managed to convince some voters that his garbled responses were a sign of strength. Now, he’s saying Biden can pull the same magic trick.
Amidst the Democratic panic over Biden’s pathetic showing against Trump, Fetterman plays the part of a seasoned wisdom-giver. He suggests that bombing one debate doesn’t spell doom for a campaign. Fetterman recalled how everyone counted him out after his train-wreck with Mehmet Oz – not that a masterclass in debating was ever expected from him. Incredibly, he still managed to “smoke” Oz by 5 points, a victory that, let’s face it, says more about Pennsylvania’s voters than Fetterman’s debating skills.
The senator went on to share his profound revelation during a Sunday interview, arguing that one flubbed debate won’t sink Biden. He likened the Democrat party’s current hand-wringing over Joe’s dismal debating to his own miraculous win in 2022. According to Fetterman, declaring Biden’s candidacy dead after one debate is “the dumbest thing” he’s ever heard. Quite a statement from a man who turned a stroke-induced mumble fest into a political triumph.

Democrats, ever the enthusiasts for self-destructive policies, are now questioning why Biden’s campaign even agreed to a debate where he looked more lost than a vegan at a Texas barbecue. They recall how Fetterman’s catastrophic showing in 2022 raised eyebrows and caused alarms, yet he’s holding onto it like it’s a badge of honor.
In classic Fetterman fashion, he insists that fleeing the Biden ship is tantamount to ushering Trump back into the White House. He implores voters to scrutinize the stark differences between Trump’s leadership and Biden’s “magnificent” presidency. Fetterman warns that Trump aims to weaponize the presidency for retribution, conveniently glossing over the fact that Biden’s term has arguably been one long payback tour for his detractors.
It’s clear that deflection and denial are the Democrats’ strategy. With Fetterman at the helm of this dubious defense, expect lots more awkward metaphors and convenient amnesia. As for Biden, perhaps he can take heart in knowing his party’s slogan should now be, “If Fetterman can do it, anyone can.”
