The Senate is relaxing its informal dress code, allowing senators to dress however they please in the chamber.A statement from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said, “Senators are able to choose what they wear on the Senate floor. I will continue to wear a suit.” Outlets are attributing the rule change to Sen. John Fetterman , who is known for his casual attire of gym shorts and a hoodie.
Until now, Fetterman would frequently vote from the door frame of the chamber when dressed casually to adhere to chamber decorum. Under the new guidelines, senators are allowed to wear whatever they want, but others inside the chamber have to comply with the formal dress code. The rule change is being criticized by conservative lawmakers and media voices, with Fetterman frequently singled out.
