Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., advises Democrats not to become overly anxious about President-elect Trump's actions and statements.

"Fetterman told CNN's "State of the Union" host Tapper on Sunday that it's not even Thanksgiving yet and if people are already having meltdowns over tweets, appointments, or other things, it will only be four more years."

Trump's "jackpot" was previously predicted by Fetterman, who foresaw Republicans gaining control of the White House, House of Representatives, Senate, and a Supreme Court with a "conservative slant."

Fetterman stated that they possess the absolute capability to manage the table for the next two years, and we should all focus on this rather than minor tweets or unimportant appointments.

He stated that he plans to vote for some of Trump's nominees, including Rubio, who is the next secretary of state, and Stefanik, Trump's choice for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

The senator stated that there are individuals who are simply trolls, similar to Gaetz and others, as Trump appointed him as his attorney general.

Gaetz may face a difficult confirmation process due to past DOJ investigations into sex trafficking allegations, which were later dropped.

The House Ethics Committee investigation into Gaetz was anticipated to be made public soon, but his resignation may prevent the release of the report.
