Faculae claims[edit]

Why are they considered to be false claims when the same is not said about Hillary’s claims of fraud in 2016 or Stacey Abrams OPINION that the election was stolen from them. Unproven should be the claim not false which relies on facts not opinions. 107.116.83.15 (talk) 22:22, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Mueller report, released in 2019, showed that Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election occurred "in sweeping and systematic fashion". This is official documentation, showing fraud objectively did occur in 2016.
No such evidence exists to claim that there was widespread fraud in 2020 or 2022. 213.105.99.162 (talk) 10:10, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Did you read the Mueller report? That's not at all what it said. 69.244.226.209 (talk) 00:46, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You didn't read the report. "The Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion," Mueller wrote in the 448-page document, which lays out new details about a Kremlin-backed plot that compromised Democrats’ computer networks and targeted state and local election offices." – Muboshgu (talk) 00:58, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 3 January 2023[edit]

In lead change "who is the junior United States senator from Pennsylvania since 2023." to "serving as the junior United States senator from Pennsylvania since 2023." and change "A member of the Democratic Party, he has also served as the 34th lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania from 2019 to 2023." to "A member of the Democratic Party, he also served as the 34th lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania from 2019 to 2023". Changes would be for the sake of grammar and consistency with the leads of other Senators. Planetberaure (talk) 21:59, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of Senate struggles in last paragraph of introduction[edit]

Fetterman's struggles with mental health (checking in to the hospital for clinical depression), physical health (the major stroke he had), and audio processing issues (having to get a closed captioning device installed to his Senate desk) are public and well-documented. I think that given that this is what he's receiving much media attention for, it's worth adding to the introduction. See the following as only one example of this media attention. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/16/us/politics/john-fetterman-health.html Jgtrevor (talk) 00:32, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's WP:UNDUE for the lead. what he's receiving much attention for is WP:RECENTISM. As a BLP, we should not be including speculation, like the edit that I reverted. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:44, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Should Fetterman Be Described as a Progressive?[edit]

The intro specifically says that he is commonly referred to as a progressive but he has rejected this term in multiple interviews recently.

I think the solution is to add a section called "Break from Progressivism" or something like that. He definitely identified as progressive, but has clearly changed his stance. --Sametinkles (talk) 03:09, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
