When he supported Israel it looked as if John Fetterman's (D-PA) cognitive impairment was improving. Even when he spoke, he did so with greater clarity than he showed soon after his stroke.
But it looks like he's having a setback after attacking veteran Democrat strategist James Carville's analysis of Joe Biden's chances of winning a second term. Specifically, Carville believes Biden's chances aren't great, while Fetterman refuses to agree with that prediction.
Fetterman addressed Carville's claim during an interview with POLITICO that was published on Wednesday, as he responded to questions about the barely sentient president's chances of winning in Pennsylvania in the 2024 election.

“All I do know is that the president will win Pennsylvania. And I do believe if he wins Pennsylvania, and I believe he will, he will be a second-term president,” Fetterman said coherently. Then he addressed Carville’s assessment of Biden's chances and he obviously wasn't thrilled about Carville's assessment.
“There’s a whole lifetime in politics between now and next November as well. I’m not worried about that. And I’m very vocal about this, too, while there are Democrats that are being very critical about the president,” Fetterman said. “I’ll use this [as] another opportunity to tell James Carville to shut the f**k up. Like I said, my man hasn’t been relevant since grunge was a thing. And I don’t know why he believes it’s helpful to say these kinds of things about an incredibly difficult circumstance with an incredibly strong and decent and excellent president. I’ll never understand that.”
And there ended Fetterman's strange, new respect conservatives may have had for him after he defended Israel's existence.
Carville responded by telling POLITICO that other senators had not “gotten the memo yet” regarding his irrelevance. “I’m glad he’s feeling better,” Carville sarcastically said of Fetterman.
Carville had a much less favorable forecast for Biden in a December 13 interview with Kassie Hunt of CNN. He believed that Biden would likely lose to Trump if the election were held that day.
“It sounds to me like you think if the election were held today, Biden would lose,” Hunt suggested, and Carville agreed with her assessment.
“Me and everybody else,” he said.
