Sen. John Fetterman Mocks Dress Code Dispute, Predicts Sen. Joe Manchin's Senate Exit

Fetterman's criticism of his colleague Manchin follows the reinstatement of the Senate's formal dress code, which came after Fetterman's casual attire preference incited a relaxation of the Senate dress code, offending Republicans and Manchin.

Sen. John Fetterman criticized Sen. Joe Manchin's attempt to reinstate the Senate's professional dress code following a brief period of relaxation accommodating Fetterman's preference for casual wear.
Fetterman publicly expressed alienation and mockery towards Manchin, predicting that Manchin will not be in Senate for 'much longer'. Fetterman's excitement for the possibility of inheriting Manchin's parking space has become a recurring joke.
Despite the dress code reinstatement, Fetterman continues his trademark of casual wear, often voting from the door of the Senate without entering the chamber.
Fetterman's criticisms are not limited to Manchin. Senator Bob Menendez has also been a regular target of Fetterman's criticism due to Menendez's corruption charges.
Uncertainty surrounds Manchin's future in the Senate as he has yet to announce his plans for 2024, raising speculation of either re-election, retirement, or a potential presidential bid.
