Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman's chief of staff resigned Wednesday and will have her final official day in the coming weeks, Axios reported.

Cabelle St. John, who has served in the post since 2025, has worked on Fetterman's team since he first came to Washington approximately three-and-a-half years ago.

Fetterman has not confirmed St. John's exit but did not deny it in a text to Axios.

The news comes as Fetterman's office sees high turnover because former aides are frustrated with his continual support for Israel in its war with Iran and friendlier approach toward President Donald Trump.

Fetterman is known to be one of the most bipartisan members of Congress, siding with Republicans on votes related to Iran, border security and the construction of the White House ballroom. But he has declined to switch parties and primarily votes with the Democrats.
