Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) criticized the Senate and Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) over a recent dress code policy the Senate has revised.
The policy that was recently revised allows senators to choose what they wear on the Senate floor, which will likely benefit Fetterman, who is well known for appearing in the Senate wearing a hoodie and gym shorts over business attire. DeSantis, who did not mention Fetterman by name, criticized the Senate's revision of its dress code"because you got this guy from Pennsylvania" with"a lot of problems.
DeSantis added that people should be"lifting up our standards in this country" instead of"dumbing down" the standards and that the recent amendment to the Senate's dress code is a reason why people need to increase their standards. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said that while senators can wear what they choose, he will"continue to wear a suit" despite the dress code amendment.Staff members will still be required to follow the old dress code.
Though Fetterman is most known for his casual attire preferences, the long-standing dress code has been circumvented numerous times by lawmakers who arrive at the United States Capitol to vote after spending time at the gym or another casual event. In the past, lawmakers in these circumstances would vote from the edge of the Senate floor, with one foot still in the cloakroom.
