“Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) quietly has directed the Senate’s Sergeant at Arms to no longer enforce the chamber’s informal dress code for its members,” Axios reports.
“The new directive will allow Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), who tends to favor gym shorts and hoodies over the business attire traditionally required in the chamber, to linger on the Senate floor before and after votes.”
