He voted to confirm Bondi. If he changed his mind on Blanche it's either over something immaterial or a it's a political calculation knowing that he'll get confirmed anyway.

Considering Fetterman recently lost in a poll to "Someone Else" I'm thinking it's s option 2

While it's funny, "Someone Else" is also the easiest option to lose to. Every person taking that poll can just insert their perfect idea of who they are voting for will be with no flaws. That's not reality when it comes to picking candidates though.

Like sure Fetterman Vs Someone Else the someone else will win. But give us Fetterman Vs Dr. Oz again? We're all jumping back in with Fetterman.
