Senator John Fetterman accused Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro of being too focused on “political ambition” in a new memoir released Tuesday, adding fuel to the pair’s ongoing feud.
The Pennsylvania Democrats, both thought to have 2028 presidential aspirations, butted heads while Fetterman was the Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania under Shapiro from 2019-2023. Their feud stems from their disagreements while they served on Pennsylvania’s Board of Pardons. Fetterman was more lenient in supporting clemency for state inmates compared to Shapiro, who took a more cautious approach—too cautious for Fetterman’s liking.
“I truly believed with all my heart that nobody I ever supported for a pardon was a danger to society, and I was willing to stake my political career on it,” writes Fetterma
