Democrat Sen. John Fetterman warmly introduced fellow Pennsylvania Sen. Dave McCormick, a Republican at the Republican midterm convention.
The appearance fueled speculation Fetterman could seek REELECTION as an INDEPENDENT in 2028.
"His support is so low among his fellow Democrats I am not sure he could hire any staffers or consultants to work for him, so that's off the table,"

Yes, I think we can take the seat.
Interesting thought and not a bad one.
East coast DSA will try to torpedo him.
Having him run independent will split the DNC vote.
GOP Senator and new ambassador to Irael.
We can even buy him a new suit.
Fetterman’s one of the few democrats who loves the United States. I don’t believe he’d have a problem hiring a consultant - or many. I’m guessing he’ll run AND WIN as a democrat and vote for what’s best for the country. Sometimes with us - and sometimes not with us.
Fetterman reminds me of the old-style Democrats that many of our parents were fond of.
He just spoke at the Republican convention for crying out loud.
He is fully onboard with the Zionist agenda that the GOP is embracing and the Dems are moving away from. (who knows what is motivating him)
I also think he is angling to be like an Arlen Specter / Joe Lieberman / Jim Jefferies type of guy who tries to straddle the two parties and holds lots of sway. Right now that doesn't seem effective but if come January the Senate is split 50/50, he is going to be holding ALOT of cards and will become filthy rich off of it.
Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin also resisted marching in Goose-step formation with the RATs. Because of their resistance the Filibuster survived. The RATs fully intended on making their 2020 coup permanent. Those two became a roadblock to the Rat’s Junta. Of course they were drummed out of the party like Fetterman is about to be.
Can we confirm:
winning election as an indie (who may often caucus with donks) does not tilt the balance of the senate....is this correct ?
in other words, can donks win 49 seats plus 2 Indies (Fetterman & Sanders)
to claim majority of 51 ?
Festerman can head the unity party.
'Zionist Agenda' is another way of saying 'I hate Jews!' . After spending Trillions of dollars on NATO did NATO help America in its war against Iran ? Hell no! They did what they could to block it! Tiny Israel put its skin in the game and helped.
The people who keep trying to shame Israel fof taking the steps it does to survive in a world full of hate for Jews are on the wrong side . The EVIL Islamic side. *SPIT*
> who knows what is motivating him <
I’ll field that one. Fetterman was horrified by the monstrous Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. As you probably know, over 1000 people were butchered. That includes 38 children.
The youngest person murdered was a 10 month old baby.
Most Democrats were ready to just move on.
But not Fetterman. He knows which side is the evil side.
Given he’s a D, it’s a brave and bold stance.
I give him a ton of credit.
I remember democrats like that from a long time ago... they stood with workers back then too.
Now democrats stand with illegals who take American jobs, illegals working under the table while collecting welfare, men who pretend they're women to sneak into women's bathrooms etc etc etc And evil ones who get off on the sexual mutilation of children.
Other than Fetterman, few old style democrats exist.
Democrats didn't care about illegals taking worker's jobs but they DO CARE about AI taking the jobs of liberal 'elites'. THAT they care about... "We must save the jobs of lawyers, teachers and doctors'..."
AND they expect us to feel sorry for them when they never gave a damn about us.
Of course the current crop of democrats RUNNING for office will try to SOUND like old style democratsto get elected - but if elected they'll govern like the commie WOKE crazies they are.
He could fight his own party for the nomination. He could switch to GOP or (I) to keep his job. Or he could just let it go and return to private life. He might do well in an appointed position, but I don't know who would appoint him.
He has 2 years to define a new career path. Don't know for sure what it will be.
He can wear his hoodie and shorts as long as he stands up the mainstream Democrats. But he still votes with them about 80% of the time. That is bound to improve if he wins reelection without the party.
Go play with new leftist friends traitor, they are waiting for you. And this comment is not about Israel, it’s about you throwing in with leftist vermin.
Forget all that, HE IS SLOBERING OVER LEFTIST FILTH TRAITORS. HATES ISRAEL FAR MORE THAN HE LOVES AMERICA.
If he caucuses with the Democrats, he might as well be one.
**He might do well in an appointed position, but I don’t know who would appoint him.**
A republican who would like to say thanks. I’d offer ambassadorships to Joe Manchin and Sinema. They can play tourist until the get tired of being away from home.
In a thread full of people praising a life long Democrat who was endorsed by Bernie Sanders, I am the traitor.....and it has nothing to do with Israel.
And those who support another country’s interests ahead of their own country’s aren’t the traitors.
It makes perfect sense.
