Fetterman says he would ‘never’ leave Democrats as Senate seems destined for close margins

  • A monthly poll from PennLive/Bravo Group revealed on Wednesday that 58% of 630 respondents would prefer "someone else" over Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman if he ran for reelection this year.
  • The senator faces significant headwinds, with just a 38% approval rating and about 47% disapproval; only 12% said they would "definitely" vote for him, while 28% said they "probably" would.
  • Fetterman has distanced himself from his 2016 "progressive" platform and clashed with party members, stating "These people aren't Democrats" regarding prison abolitionists while warning he would leave if the party became the "anti-Israel party."
  • Despite speculation he might join the GOP or become an Independent, Fetterman told the New York Times on Thursday he would "never" leave the Democratic Party.
  • Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer urged Fetterman to remain, while Senate Majority Leader John Thune indicated he would welcome the senator into the Republican conference, though he noted the final decision rests with Fetterman.
