<p>Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/john-fetterman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Fetterman</a>, the Democrat lawmaker from Pennsylvania famously known for wearing gym shorts and a hoodie around the Halls of Congress, said he would follow the Senate dress code if elected to office during a radio interview last year <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/resurfaced-interview-shows-fetterman-follow-senate-dress-code-if-elected?intcmp=tw_pols" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resurfaced</a> by Fox News.</p>
<p>Before Fetterman became another Washington, D.C., politician, he reportedly told the Big K Morning Show in early October 2022 while on the campaign trail that he would &#8220;only wear what you&#8217;re supposed to wear&#8221; in terms of the dress code.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s really not about what I&#8217;m wearing, and if anyone that&#8217;s listening prefers somebody that dresses like a real person, or somebody that lives, excuse me, that wears a $5,000 fancy suit, then that&#8217;s really up to somebody,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You can make your own conclusion.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fetterman&#8217;s unconventional fashion choice has turned heads since he took office in January. The lawmaker rarely follows the Senate dress code, often making him stick out in a crowd of politicians donning the usual business attire protocol. He reportedly figured a way around the legislative body&#8217;s dress code rules by casting votes from the doorway of the Democratic cloakroom or the side entrance.</p>
<p>But the Congress catwalk could all change now that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) directed the Senate&#8217;s sergeant-at-arms to stop enforcement of a dress code for Senators a few months after Fetterman made headlines for disregarding the rules.</p>
<p>&#8220;Senators are able to choose what they wear on the Senate floor,&#8221; Schumer said. &#8220;I will continue to wear a suit.&#8221;</p>
<p>The new rule only applies to lawmakers and excludes staff members and visitors.</p>
<p>The decision to relax the chamber&#8217;s dress code echoed in the House and the Senate, with some Republicans labeling the change &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-fetterman-rule-senate-cuts-dress-code-enforcement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Fetterman Rule</a>.&#8221; Some even offered wild outfit ideas in jest, while others complained about the transition or indicated that they were not concerned.</p>

<p>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was asked if he would restore the old rules if Republicans retake the upper chamber.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think I&#8217;m pretty safe in saying most, if not all, Republican senators think we ought to dress up to go to work,&#8221; McConnell <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-senators-are-reacting-to-fetterman-rule-dress-code" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> said. &#8220;So I can&#8217;t imagine that we&#8217;re going to be wearing jeans on the Senate floor anytime soon.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fetterman himself offered a reaction to the uproar during an appearance on MSNBC.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve heard that some people are upset about that, and the Right have been like losing their mind,&#8221; he told host Chris Hayes. &#8220;You know, they&#8217;re just like, &#8216;Oh my god, you know, dogs and cats are living together.&#8217; And you know, like I said, aren&#8217;t there more important things we should be talking about rather than if I dress like a slob?&#8221;</p>
<p>Fetterman made a similar comment in a Fox News Digital interview on Monday, adding that he believes the outrage from Republican lawmakers is &#8220;a good thing.&#8221;</p>
