Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania is once again showing himself to be the most reasonable member of his party.
Following the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Fetterman is calling on his fellow Democrats to drop their Trump Derangement Syndrome and support construction of the White House Ballroom.
This will earn him more scorn from the rabid far-left wing of his party, but he doesn’t seem to care. Good for him.
FOX News reported:
Fetterman breaks with Democrats after shooting scare, backs Trump on major White House project
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., broke party lines again after the close call at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner this weekend, siding with President Donald Trump’s push to build a ballroom at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Fetterman, who has repeatedly shown he is willing to defy his party, posted on X that he was “there front and center” at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner when the shooting occurred Saturday night. The alleged shooter, 31-year-old California resident Cole Allen, broke through multiple layers of Secret Service security at the Washington Hilton and nearly opened fire in a room where the president, vice president and other key administration and federal officials were present.
“After witnessing last night,” Fetterman called for people to “drop the TDS [Trump derangement syndrome] and build the White House ballroom.”
He said the purpose of the ballroom would be to host events “exactly like these.”
“We were there front and center,” he wrote. “That venue wasn’t built to accommodate an event with the line of succession for the U.S. government.”

The GOP is solidified on this. Senator Lindsey Graham is talking about it.
Lindsey Graham says they are going introduce legislation that’s going to authorize 400 million dollars to be spent on building the ballroom: We pay for it by offsetting it with customs fees. The sooner we get the ballroom built, the better it is for the country. pic.twitter.com/aYS3Pi07gT— Acyn (@Acyn) April 27, 2026
Even Senator Rand Paul is on board!
I'm dropping a bill tomorrow. Let's build the Ballroom. https://t.co/vlQTY1l3ub— Senator Rand Paul (@SenRandPaul) April 27, 2026
The ballroom is going to get built, whether Democrats like it or not.
