The new dress code, implemented by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, will allow Sen. John Fetterman to wear his trademark casual attire like hoodies and shorts on the Senate floor.

The candid reviews of the new rules, which went into effect Monday, even included mockery from Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who joked to reporters that she planned to “wear a bikini” on Tuesday.

    This would have been such an obvious slam-dunk for Republicans! Their base hates suits and ties (and the people who wear them). They could have started wearing blue jeans and sleeveless shirts and work boots to the Senate floor, but no, they need to feel like their jobs are important.
