In response to President-elect Donald Trump's administration choices and recent election victory. In an NBC News interview, Fetterman emphasized the need for Democrats to "chill" and conserve their energy, noting that Trump hasn't yet taken office. He advised against overreacting to what he sees as Trump’s trolling tactics, particularly controversial appointments like Matt Gaetz as Attorney General, Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence, and Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense. Fetterman dismissed the appointment of Gaetz as mere provocation and cautioned Democrats against playing into Trump's hands by overreacting.
Reflecting on the 2024 election results, where Trump was victorious in all seven battleground states, Fetterman highlighted Democratic missteps in engaging key voter groups and warned that reacting with moral indignation would not be effective in future elections. He stressed the importance of maintaining composure and focusing on strategic planning rather than "pearl-clutching" or loud criticisms, suggesting these are not successful tactics for winning elections. Fetterman’s comments underscore the need for Democrats to adopt a more measured and discerning approach as they face a challenging political environment under Trump’s administration.
