Pennsylvania Democrats, including potential 2028 Senate candidates, are ramping up their criticism of Sen. John Fetterman after he appeared by video at the Republican midterm convention this week.
I mean the R’s aren’t going to have him. Why would you put someone onto your bench when their first and immediate next step will be to catch an L?
Fetterman loses his next election, regardless of the team he’s on. He can’t wont win as a republican, he can’t wont win as a democrat. Republicans are just using the ogres club for all its really good for right now. He’ll be cast aside in a moment.
Plus there is plenty of precedent for dems defecting when it counts, like LIeberman, but there are others, above guy doesn’t know what he is talking about here.
Republicans are dirty tricksters, have been my entire life. Democrats their bitch sadly.
Actually he might depending on how the political winds blow by 2028. I can’t find it now but I recently came across a graph of Fetterman’s approval rating with Democrats and Republics and the former declines while the latter climbs such that the sum of the two is basically flat. He could legitimately do it. See these figures from earlier this year; he has a very respectable approval rating.

I mean they can still use him to deny the Democrats a majority if the election is really close. And if it’s a draw then Vance is the tie breaker vote.

No. He can’t win as a republican. If you think that, you’ve missed how politics works in 2016 and beyond.
Whoever runs him, if they choose to do so, loses the election.
I’m assuming approval ratings could translate readily enough to primary votes. I could be wrong, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.
