Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., on Sunday called on Democrats to support building the White House ballroom given the shooting that occurred at the White House correspondents' dinner.

"We were there front and center.

That venue wasn’t built to accommodate an event with the line of succession for the U.S. government," Fetterman wrote Sunday on X, referencing "Trump Derangment Syndrome."

"After witnessing last night, drop the TDS and build the White House ballroom for events exactly like these," he added.
