Cabelle St. John, who served on Democratic Senator John Fetterman’s staff since he took office in January 2023, is reportedly leaving her role in the coming weeks. She became chief of staff in June 2025 after Krysta Juris departed. The change follows Fetterman’s increasing alignment with Republicans and President Donald Trump on issues such as the war in Iran. Fetterman has faced criticism within the Democratic Party and from people around him over his support for Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, his stance on the Iran war, and claims of erratic behavior. After a staff exodus in 2025, a former staffer described him as a “useful idiot” for Republicans. Fetterman also made remarks about Democrats becoming anti-American and received a reported offer from Trump to endorse him if he switched parties.
"Cabelle St. John, who has served on Fetterman's team in various roles since he first took office in January 2023, will leave her role in the coming weeks, Axios reported on Wednesday night. St. John became Fetterman's chief of staff in June 2025 after the departure of Krysta Juris. So much for the turnover issue."
"Fetterman has become increasingly maligned in the Democratic Party and apparently in his own team over his support of Israel's military campaign in Gaza, the Iran war, and erratic behavior. Following a staff exodus in 2025, one ex-staffer called Fetterman a useful idiot for Republicans on their way out."
"During a podcast appearance last week, Fetterman proclaimed that the Democrats were becoming more increasingly anti-American for me. Earlier this month, Trump promised Fetterman my complete and total endorsement if he switched parties."
"Fetterman wrote in a text to Axios after the piece was published, along with a picture showing other offices with purportedly higher turnover. Clicks! Fetterman wrote in a text to Axios after the piece was published, along with a picture showing other offices with purportedly higher turnover."
