Senator John Fetterman’s wife was notably missing from the crowd during a spicy debate in which he issued a new attack on his fellow Democrats.

Gisele Fetterman’s recent absence has fueled rumors, especially after the Daily Mail reported seeing her without her wedding ring, sparking speculation about potential issues in their relationship.

According to the Daily Mail, Gisele has not accompanied her husband to Washington, D.C., at all this year. A Senate staffer noted, “I haven’t seen her once.”

Fetterman was taking on fellow Pennsylvania Senator Dave McCormick, a Republican, in a testy debate hosted by Fox News.

At Monday’s forum, the topics included the conflict between Israel and Hamas, the threat posed by a nuclear-capable Iran, and the necessity for bolstering security along America’s southern border.

Fetterman pointed to a provision to increase border funding as one he can support in the Republican government spending package known as President Donald Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill.’

It was sent to the Senate by the House of Representatives in the final hours before the Congressional Memorial Day recess last month.

Calling out members of his own political party, Fetterman noted that his ‘party did not handle the border appropriately.’

‘If I had to find something in that, the big, beautiful bill that I can support that, and that’s a mistake that our party made, and that’s the border. I absolutely support those kinds of investment to make our border security as well…’ 

‘I thought the border was really important, and our party did not handle the border appropriately’ Fetterman argued.

Overall, Fetterman still plans to oppose the government funding package due to provisions such as cutting Medicaid, as well as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). 

The Democrat Senator’s wife Gisele Baretto Fetterman wasn’t seen in the crowd during Mondays debate after weeks of speculation about their marriage.

In a bombshell New York Magazine report last month it was claimed Gisele – a formerly undocumented immigrant from Brazil, and a vocal progressive – dislikes her husband’s staunch public defense of Israel.

‘They [Israel] are bombing refugee camps. How can you support this?’ she reportedly asked her husband, according to a staffer who spoke to the magazine.

In a text to a staffer she also reportedly described how Fetterman was ‘fighting to get access of the Twitter account… Please promise me that he’ll never have access.’

But last month, Gisele told the Daily Mail that the pair are doing fine, batting away questions about the state of their union. 

When asked about the missing wedding band, she said: ‘I’m a firefighter, did you know that? If I wore my wedding ring to fight fires, that would be dangerous. That’s why it’s not here.’

In recent years, Gisele has volunteered as a part-time firefighter.

Gisele has become somewhat of a political star in her own right. 

Last month, Politico columnist Bill Scher included Gisele on his roster of a proposed Democrat ‘Shadow Cabinet’ to be created to oppose the Trump Administration’s policy agenda. Gisele was suggested by Scher for the role of Shadow Secretary of Homeland Security.

In her most recent post on X made in February, she wrote about the issue of immigration: ‘I still hate politics but I [heart emoji] people and I believe all people deserve to feel safe in their homeland. And if your home is a chosen one, then you should also feel safe there.’

A shadow cabinet is present in parliamentary governance systems in nations such as Canada and the United Kingdom. 

Senator Fetterman also had the chance to publicly address a call made on Sunday by the Philadelphia Inquirer – one of the duo’s more prominent home state newspapers – for him to step aside. 

In an opinion piece published by the paper’s editorial board Sunday, Fetterman was told ‘to serve Pennsylvanians, or step away’ due to what the board believes is a neglect of his duties as a U.S. Senator. Fetterman was bashed for missing votes, and for his lack of travel around the Commonwealth. 

Fetterman responded that the votes he has missed have been ‘procedural’ in nature, adding: ‘At this point I’m hearing I’m doing that job, I’m defending on all those things and all of those important votes, I’ve always been there.’

‘We all know those votes that I’ve missed were on Monday. Those are travel days, and I have three young kids and I, those are throwaway procedural votes that there were never determinative. They were important. That’s a choice that I made,’ Fetterman concluded.
