Sen. John Fetterman’s chief of staff resigned Wednesday, a source familiar with the move told Axios.
The Pennsylvania Democrat has had a serious staff retention problem as he’s faced scrutiny over his health struggles and changing political brand.
Fetterman, who was once a darling of the progressive movement, has seen major turnover as ex-aides have grown frustrated with his steadfast support for Israel and warmer approach toward President Trump.
Cabelle St. John has served on Fetterman’s team since he first came to Washington about three-and-a-half years ago. She became his chief of staff in 2025.

It makes sense, since she didn’t sign up to work for a *Republican*.

It’s almost like he has a staff retention problem because his staff we’re under the impression that they were working for a Democrat And at this point it’s impossible to pretend that federman was ever anything more than a liar and a Trojan horse.

Since he’s siding with conservatives will he at least dress like them?
This working man persona is making him look like and sound like a clown.

It’s not like he has any future acting as a chief of staff to with what amounts to be a walking colostomy bag.

Probably won’t be the last. Completely betraying your principles will cause people to leave your employ

She shouldn’t have to deal with a Republican.

I’m sure Dreck the Ogre didn’t even notice. If it doesn’t directly translate to an opportunity to fuck over Americans or benefit Israel, he’s checked out.

WHAT IS IN THE FETTERMAN FILES? What was he shown about himself that has him cowering like a whipped dog? Was it dog-related?

The left told us this guy was the only progressive choice and we were baby killers if we supported Lamb over him.

Reminder everyone, he has always been pro Israel. Not everything can be blamed on the stroke.

You can’t convince me that he and his family were promised a bunker below all these data centers where they’ve be siphoning power and water. They’re vaults. AI is the distraction.

I wish the headline said that Fetterman resigned.

His legacy in history books will be exactly what he deserves

Will he run again? Serious and fair question. Sinema knew better, does he?

There’s “working across the aisle,” and then there’s deliberately trolling people with your awful public takes.
Or maybe it’s not trolling, maybe he’s hoping to get in a position like Joe Manchin’s where he’s the deciding vote and gets to abuse this power to extract concessions. Maybe it’s just about having that power.
Maybe it’s none of the above and his brain really is fried.
Either way, Fetterman has deceived and angered his constituents. So no matter what contrarian position he continues to take, hell, whether or not he even switches his affiliation to independent, come next election, he better hope his challenger is actually braindead.
