SENATOR FETTERMAN HAS NO PLANS TO LEAVE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

U.S. Senator John Fetterman says he has no plans to leave the Democratic Party, despite criticism from within his own ranks, according to the Tribune Review. In an op-ed, Fetterman pushed back on reports that some Republicans are trying to recruit him, saying he’d make a “terrible Republican” and still votes overwhelmingly with Democrats. The Braddock native has drawn attention for breaking with his party on issues like border security and Israel, while emphasizing bipartisan cooperation. Fetterman says he’ll continue working across the aisle, even if it’s politically unpopular, adding that Pennsylvania deserves independent leadership focused on results.
