Keystone State Senator John Fetterman praised Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for eliminating the business dress code for Senators; “I feel it’s a little more freedom, which should be bipartisanship,” Fetterman said.
“I think it’s a good thing, but I’m going to use it sparingly,” he added while wearing a short-sleeve button-down. “I hope other colleagues take advantage of it too.”
Not everyone is on board with the new casual Congress —including Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY).
“This is a terribly sad development for the U.S. Senate,” the Wyoming Republican said. “I’ve never seen civility enhanced or a sense of decorum enhanced by dressing like a slob.”
“When you dress like that around here, which is the very sloppiest that a person would dress even if they’re going to a gym by themselves … the bar is lowered,” Lummis said about Fetterman’s attire. “The Senate is degraded. It’s debased. It should not be typical of how we dress when we go to the floor of the United States Senate.”
