Pennsylvania U.S. Sen. John Fetterman has missed the most Senate votes so far this year, according to a recent report.

Citing the nonpartisan GovTrack.us, the left-leaning Zeteo reported that Fetterman, a Democrat, missed 18 of the Senate’s 98 roll-call votes in January and February, eight more than any Senate colleague.

According to GovTrack data, Fetterman has missed 18.4% of the Senate’s votes in 2025.

Zeteo reported that 11 of the 18 missed votes occurred on Thursdays.

When asked by a Zeteo reporter about the missed votes, Fetterman responded, “I’m devastated by your inquiries,” without an explanation.

A Fetterman spokesperson did not respond to PennLive’s questions about the missed votes.

GovTrack’s data showed that Pennsylvania’s new GOP Sen. Dave McCormick has not missed any of this year’s 98 votes. »
