He seems like more of a traditional union Democrat. An actual Blue collar guy that grew up in a rust belt town where all the manufacturing jobs got moved overseas.

Couldn’t be more wrong. Fetterman is a trust fund kid who grew up in a wealthy Philadelphia suburb. He went to an Ivy League University (U Penn) and never had a job in his life until he got himself elected mayor of Braddock PA, (population 1600, area 395 acres). It’s a part time job that probably pays less than a $1000 a year. It does border the US Steel Edgar Thompson plant, but I seriously doubt any steel workers still live in Braddock. They can all afford much better housing than Braddock has to offer.
