Writing on Twitter, Fetterman pushed back at Democrats who are anonymously sniping at Biden and he used his own experience with a poor debate performance back in 2022 to emphasize that such moments do not doom campaigns.
"I refuse to join the Democratic vultures on Biden’s shoulder after the debate," he wrote. "No one knows more than me that a rough debate is not the sum total of the person and their record.
He then urged his fellow Democrats to buck up and bluntly said, "Chill the f--k out."
Fetterman in the fall of 2022 was recovering from a stroke that he had suffered earlier in the year and at the time he had difficulty aurally processing questions, which led him to at times miss words while speaking haltingly during a debate with rival Mehmet Oz.
