Close to 100 people have requested their money back from the campaign of Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa.

Refund requests can be routine part of campaigns, either because donors decide for some reason that they want a refund or they accidentally donated over the legal limit for contributions.

The Fetterman campaign has issued more than 1,700 refund requests since 2021 from more than 1,000 donors, totaling more than $780,800, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission. That includes more than 200 refunds last cycle. At least seven political action committees also received refunds. (Fetterman’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment.)

Wow, did not know this was a thing. I'm a bit shocked.

While I didn't expect him to be perfect, his actions really are not representing what I thought I'd be getting when I voted for him. Oz would probably have still been worse, but I am annoyed we're stuck with this clown for now. Hope we get a better option in the future.
