John Fetterman explains why he voted against debt ceiling deal

The Pennsylvania senator was one of five in the Democrat caucus to vote against the debt ceiling bill:

will push for additional work requirements beyond what is in this bill, saying, 'Let's get the rest of the work requirements. Let's cut more...'," the senator said.

Fetterman said he did not agree to these SNAP restrictions,"and I won't give Republicans an opening to try and take food from more food insecure Americans in Farm Bill negotiations later this year. That is why I voted no tonight." In the aftermath of Thursday's vote, the Pennsylvania senator said that he had told the White House he"would have voted to avoid default if it would have made the difference."
